Description
Offered at auction, this town-centre investment comprises five self-contained apartments above commercial premises, which are not part of the sale. The listing describes the apartments as spacious and naturally lit. One has been refurbished and is let at £850 per month, with its own private entrance. The other four have been stripped back for refurbishment; existing bathroom suites remain, and the accommodation can be finished to a purchaser's specification.
The apartments are close to Sandbach's shops, cafés, restaurants, supermarkets and transport links. The title is to be separated on completion, with the apartments sold on 999-year leases and a service charge applying. The listing gives individual council tax bands of C or D and EPC ratings of C or D, alongside an overall EPC rating of D. The auction terms include a 56-day reservation period and a non-refundable reservation fee of 4.5% of the purchase price, subject to a £6,600 minimum. Buyers should review the legal pack, lease and service-charge arrangements, and establish the scope and cost of completing the four unfinished apartments before bidding.

Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This is a substantial five-apartment project in Sandbach town centre, with a useful starting point: one apartment is already renovated, tenanted and generating £850 a month, while the other four are described as stripped back and ready for a full refurbishment. The separate street-level entrance and generally intact-looking brick frontage add to the character of the opportunity, and the remaining bathroom suites provide a starting point for the redesign.
Key opportunities
- Refit the four stripped apartments to a consistent specification, choosing layouts and finishes to suit resale or a long-term rental portfolio.
- Build on the five self-contained units and town-centre position, with one renovated, tenanted apartment already providing income.
- Retain and update the existing bathroom suites where suitable, while creating a coherent finish across the apartments.
Key risks
- Four apartments are stripped back, with bare floors and kitchen areas lacking fitted units or worktops; the £70,000–£120,000 works range makes this a substantial budget and programme, not a cosmetic refresh.
- The building is above commercial premises that are excluded from the sale; check the lease, service charge and arrangements for the separated title.
- Floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged.
