Key Information
This three-bedroom end-terrace house presents an excellent opportunity for builders, developers, or cash buyers seeking a full renovation or redevelopment project. The property is currently uninhabitable and therefore no Home Report is available. It occupies a generous plot which may offer potential for extension or the creation of an additional dwelling, subject to statutory consents and planning permission.
Upon entering the property, a small hallway provides access to the main accommodation. From here, a door leads to a spacious double bedroom located on the ground floor, which benefits from a built-in cupboard beneath the staircase. To the left, stairs rise to the first floor where there are two further bedrooms. To the right of the hallway is a living room featuring a fireplace, offering a focal point for potential restoration. Continuing towards the right side of the property, there is a small hallway with another front entrance, the hallway leads to a three-piece bathroom suite and a kitchen positioned to the back of the building.
Full internal and external renovation and modernisation are essential. It is assumed that the property has existing connections to mains electricity, water, and a form of central heating; however, prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves regarding the condition and functionality of all services.
Due to the current condition, no internal viewings are permitted. No apparatus, equipment, fittings, systems, or services have been tested, and no warranty is given as to their working condition, safety, or compliance. Prospective purchasers are advised to undertake their own investigations prior to making any contractual commitment. A non-returnable buyer’s fee of £6,000 is payable to the agency by the successful purchaser upon acceptance of an offer. This fee forms part of the agent’s remuneration and is separate from the purchase price. The vendor has a business connection with the selling agency, as defined under Section 21 of the Estate Agents Act 1979. Unsafe properties are evidently in a condition that poses a serious risk to the health or safety of occupants or visitors, or where the way the home is marketed suggests it is unsuitable for occupation in that condition. There is little point in a condition survey being undertaken on a home that is unfit for occupation in any case and is being advertised as such.
