Description

Offered at auction, this two-bedroom mid-terrace house is within walking distance of Crook town centre and is offered with no forward chain.

Two double bedrooms are located on the first floor. The property has gas central heating from a combination boiler and UPVC double-glazed windows. Outside, there is an enclosed rear yard with a brick-built storage shed. The house may suit buyers considering a refurbishment or a rental investment, subject to inspection and verification of the property’s condition and relevant requirements. The sale is by the Modern Method of Auction, with a 56-day reservation period and a buyer’s reservation fee and information-pack charge. The property is freehold; buyers should review the auction terms and carry out appropriate legal and survey checks.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

53out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

At 53/100, this is a weaker overall opportunity, but it has a clear, manageable cosmetic canvas: dated finishes and worn patterned flooring across several rooms, with scope to refresh the kitchen and improve the plain enclosed yard. The wet room appears comparatively modern and intact, and the listing also highlights two double bedrooms, a utility area and no forward chain. The indicated renovation range is £4,500–£12,500.

The £36,000 guide is a figure to assess carefully: floor area is missing, so value against local £/sq ft cannot yet be judged. This is a modern auction sale, and bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap. The location close to Crook town centre is a positive, but the missing area data leaves the overall value case uncertain.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated wall finishes and worn patterned flooring across several photographed rooms.
  • Give the older kitchen finishes a cosmetic update, with no evidence here that full replacement is necessary.
  • Improve the presentation of the enclosed hard-surfaced yard while retaining its brick-built storage structure.
