Offered at auction, this vacant, ground-floor one-bedroom flat is held on a long lease, with a new term of 990 years from completion. The accommodation comprises a reception room, separate kitchen, bedroom and bathroom with WC, within approximately 32 sq m (344 sq ft). The property is described as requiring modernisation, and all services are disconnected. Buyers will need to arrange reconnection by suitably qualified engineers and make their own enquiries about the heating and other services.

The A30 and A37 provide road connections. The EPC rating is C and the council tax band is A. The sale is by order of a major housing association, with full vacant possession. Auction buyers should review the legal documentation and note the stated contract documentation fee and any additional fees in the special conditions.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
64out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £36,000, this one-bedroom flat is priced at £105/sqf, around 60% below the local average—a strong entry point for a buyer looking to create value. It is a medium-scale modernisation project: the photographed rooms have dated finishes and worn surfaces, with staining or deterioration visible in the kitchen and near the reception-room floor. The kitchen and bathroom offer clear scope for updating, while the purpose-built block shows no obvious major structural defect in the available exterior views.
The score of 64/100 reflects the standout price and economics, balanced by weaker fundamentals and the work involved. The sale is by auction, so bidding can take the hammer above the guide and the eventual price may not stay this cheap. Services are disconnected, and buyers should check reconnection requirements, the lease and the sale conditions before bidding.
Key opportunities
- Acquire at a substantial discount to the local £/sqf average, with vacant possession.
- Modernise the dated kitchen and bathroom and refresh worn surfaces and flooring to give the flat a more cohesive finish.
- The purpose-built block and long lease provide a straightforward starting point for an owner-occupier or investor project.
Key risks
- Staining and deterioration are visible in the kitchen and near the reception-room floor; establish the cause and extent before committing.
- All services are disconnected, and the condition of the heating system and other services is not warranted; allow for checks and reconnection planning.
