Description
Offered at auction, this freehold three-bedroom end-terrace house is in a residential area southeast of Middlesbrough centre. The accommodation is arranged over two floors, with a reception room and kitchen downstairs and three bedrooms and a bathroom with WC upstairs. The property was previously used as a rental investment and is offered with vacant possession. The seller states that the security shutters will be removed by completion. The listing describes the house as requiring some upgrading and gives an EPC rating of C and Council Tax Band A.
There are front and rear gardens. Local shops are nearby, with a wider range of facilities and leisure options in Middlesbrough centre. The A171 provides links to the A66 and A174. Viewings are by prior arrangement with the auctioneers. Buyers should review the auction legal documentation and check any additional fees, services and property details independently.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
48out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
At £40,000, this vacant freehold end-terrace is a clear renovation project, with a standing brick exterior and tiled roof providing a starting point for a substantial interior overhaul. The kitchen is incomplete, floors are worn or exposed in several rooms, and some window openings are boarded; there is also scope to improve the visible front garden. The guide price is not a reliable measure of value, and bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.
The WHOTS score is 48/100 (E, Low Opportunity), reflecting limited condition scoring and an overall value assessment that cannot be completed: floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. Its freehold tenure, vacant possession and three-bedroom layout give the project some appeal, but the heavy programme and unresolved value picture temper the opportunity.
Key opportunities
- Rework and complete the interior around the three-bedroom layout, replacing the incomplete kitchen and improving the worn or exposed finishes.
- Use the cleared reception space as a blank canvas for a refreshed living area.
- Tackle the patchy front garden and overgrown planting to improve the approach to the house.
Key risks
- Boarded window openings, exposed plumbing and worn or exposed flooring are visible in several interior views; check their condition and what work is needed on inspection.
- Stripped and unfinished interiors make this a heavy, multi-room programme rather than a cosmetic refresh; allow for a full interior rebuild in the time and budget plan.
