A successful bid is legally binding, with completion ordinarily required within 28 days. The buyer must pay an administration charge of £1,500 plus VAT and a 10% deposit, subject to a £5,000 minimum.

Grade CPotential opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £80,000, this two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow is priced at about £140/sqf, well below the local average of £262/sqf — a strong entry point for someone looking to take on a project. The rooms show worn finishes, marked walls and visible damage, while the kitchen and bathroom are dated; the large rear garden is heavily overgrown. That gives a buyer scope to renew the interiors and bring the garden back into use. The pitched roof and brick exterior show no obvious major failure in the submitted views, though ceiling discolouration and wall damage warrant investigation.
The £40,000–£65,000 renovation range indicates a substantial programme rather than a cosmetic refresh. The score is C: the low asking price and good location are positives, but the scale of the work tempers the overall opportunity. This is an unconditional auction listing, and bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.
Key opportunities
- Rework the dated interior finishes, including the kitchen and bathroom, to create a more cohesive, modern home.
- Clear and restore the large rear garden, which currently has dense overgrowth restricting access and visibility.
- Use the low £80,000 asking price relative to local £/sqf as an opportunity to acquire a two-bedroom bungalow with scope to add value.
Key risks
- Worn finishes across several rooms, visible wall damage and ceiling discolouration, plus a heavily overgrown garden, make this a substantial £40,000–£65,000 works programme rather than a quick refresh; investigate the damage and allow for time and budget contingency.
