Description

Offered at auction on 29 October 2026, this two-bedroom detached house occupies a secluded position with a large rear garden and leafy outlook. The property extends to approximately 36 m² and is described as requiring complete refurbishment, with no fixtures or fittings included. The house is just off Parsons Road in an established residential area of Redditch. Supermarkets, schools, healthcare facilities and everyday shops are nearby, with Aldi around half a mile away and a wider range of amenities in the town centre. Local public transport and road connections provide access to Birmingham, Bromsgrove and surrounding areas. The sale is by live-streamed unconditional auction, with binding contracts exchanged at the point of sale. A 10% deposit and buyer’s fee apply, and prospective bidders should review the legal pack and auction terms, including any additional fees, before bidding.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

41out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is a substantial, full-gut project: the visible rooms contain extensive debris and damaged finishes, with missing floor sections and exposed timbers in an upper room. The £45,000–£85,000 renovation range gives a sense of the work involved, while the detached house, large rear garden and secluded leafy setting offer a distinctive canvas for someone prepared to rework it. The rear garden is also a clear opportunity for improvement.

At 36 m², the listing gives a floor area, but the scoring data has no usable area for a local £/sqf comparison, so value against local prices cannot yet be judged. The guide is £50,000; bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap. The low overall score reflects the heavy condition and the limits on judging value and resale economics, rather than a confirmed price premium.

Key opportunities

  • Rework the detached house’s interior as a full transformation rather than a cosmetic update.
  • Turn the large rear garden and secluded, leafy setting into a stronger outdoor asset.
  • The photographed kitchen and bath areas are visibly damaged or incomplete, giving a buyer scope to redesign these parts of the house.

Key risks

  • Extensive debris, damaged ceilings and missing floor sections with exposed timbers make this a full-gut programme; the £45,000–£85,000 works range calls for substantial budget and time beyond a cosmetic refresh.
  • Roof coverings are visible but cannot be fully assessed, and the exterior is weathered.
