Description
Offered at auction, this three-storey terraced building is arranged as five one-bedroom flats. The property is described as requiring modernisation and includes a rear yard. The sale includes an investment let at £9,360 per annum, together with vacant possession of three flats; the listing strapline gives a different annual rent figure, so the tenancy details should be checked against the legal pack.
The building is on Northumberland Avenue, close to local amenities on Holmfield Road, Dickson Road and Devonshire Road. Blackpool North Shore Golf Club, North Shore Beach and Claremont Park are also accessible, with Blackpool North railway station serving the area. Extension potential is mentioned, subject to the necessary consents.

Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
50out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This is a substantial project: a three-storey terrace arranged as five one-bedroom flats, with a rear yard and the possibility of extending subject to the necessary consents. The photographed interiors show significant wear, damaged wall and ceiling finishes, and tired kitchen and bathroom areas, while the yard is overgrown. That gives a buyer scope to rethink and renew the flats as a coordinated investment project, rather than just carry out a cosmetic refresh.
At the £155,000 guide price, value versus local £/sqf cannot be judged because the floor area is missing. The property is offered by auction, and bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay at this level. The listing also gives inconsistent rental figures, which should be clarified alongside the legal and condition details.
Key opportunities
- Rework the five one-bedroom flats as a coordinated improvement project, with scope to renew finishes and make the accommodation feel more cohesive.
- The existing rear yard provides outdoor space to clear and improve; the listing also mentions extension potential, subject to consents and feasibility.
- Nearby amenities, transport and recreational attractions provide useful location fundamentals for an investment property.
Key risks
- Stripped-back finishes and visible wall and ceiling damage across photographed areas point to a heavy, multi-room programme; plan for investigation, repairs and a longer delivery timetable than a cosmetic refresh.
- The listing quotes inconsistent rental figures, so verify the current income, occupancy and vacant-possession details before assessing the investment.
