Overview

The property briefly comprises: an entrance hallway leading to a living room, kitchen/dining room, 2 bedrooms, bathroom and W.C..

The property offers a blank canvas for somebody looking to put their own stamp on a property and presents a good opportunity for both home buyers and investors.

Prospective buyers are to be aware there has been some historic subsidence to the rear of the property effecting the living room, kitchen/dining room, and the rear bedroom, which was identified in 2022. An insurance claim has been raised, which identified the cause of damage was due to clay shrinkage caused by root activity of surrounding vegetation. As a result of the insurance claim, successful mitigation measures have been undertaken to stabilise the property, including vegetation removal surrounding the property and some brick stitching to the rear elevation. The insurance company concluded, due to the relatively minor nature of the damage, there is no further need to undertake a formal monitoring period. Prospective buyers are to be aware of this historic insurance claim and note the mitigation measures undertaken to date.

The property is unregistered, the vendor's solicitor holds the deeds. The buyer will be responsible for completing the first registration post completion, the epitome of title is readily available for download from the Hammer Price Homes website.

The property has been mostly cleared, but there are some remaining garden items and garden furniture as seen on the property photographs. Any remaining items will not be cleared by the vendors, and it will be the responsibility of the winning bidder to clear any remaining items post completion.
