1 Bed Flat For Sale

For Sale By Public Auction

A prime development opportunity, ideal for those looking to renovate in the heart of Leicester City Centre. The spacious second floor flat consists of one bedroom, lounge, kitchen diner and a bathroom and requires full renovation (subject to any necessary planning permissions).

Alongside the prime city centre location and following a high-standard of renovation the property would provide a great buy-to-let investment or re-sale. Following refurbishments we'd expect the property to generate an approximate re-sale value of around £120,000 and should the new owner decide to enter the rental market, we'd expect the property to achieve approximately £850-£900pcmx generating a healthy rental yield.

The Floorplan and EPC for this property have been arranged and are to follow.

Auction Terms - The property will unless previously withdrawn, be sold subject to the Special and General Conditions of Sale, which have been settled by the Vendor’s Solicitor and are contained within the Auction Legal Pack. This pack is available to download to registered bidders. The conditions may also be inspected in the Sale Room at the time of the sale but they will not then be read. The purchaser shall be deemed to bid on those terms whether he shall have inspected the Conditions or not.

The sale of this property will take place on the stated date by way of a live, in-room auction and is being sold as Unconditional with a Fixed Fee. Some sellers may consider a pre-auction offer, and the Lot may be sold or withdrawn before the auction.

Binding contracts of sale will be exchanged at the point of sale.

Auction Deposit And Fees - The following deposits and non-refundable auctioneer’s fee apply:

• 10% deposit (subject to a minimum of £5,000)

There may be additional costs listed in the Special Conditions of Sale, which will be available to view within the Legal Pack. These additional costs will be payable to the seller’s solicitor on Completion. You must read the Legal Pack carefully before bidding.

Guide Price & Reserve Price - The guide price offers an indication of the price below which the vendor is not willing to sell. It is not necessarily the exact final sale price and is subject to change prior to and up until the day of the auction. Any change in the guide price will reflect a change in the reserve (a figure below which the auctioneer will not be able to sell). The reserve can be expected to be set within the guide range or not more than 10% above a single-figure guide. (RICS Common Auction Conditions 4th Edition).
