Auctioneer's Comments 
This property is offered through Modern Method of Auction. Should you view, offer or bid your data will be shared with the Auctioneer, iamsold Limited. This method requires both parties to complete the transaction within 56 days, allowing buyers to proceed with mortgage finance (subject to lending criteria, affordability and survey).

The buyer is required to sign a reservation agreement and make payment of a non-refundable Reservation Fee of 4.5% of the purchase price including VAT, subject to a minimum of £6600.00 including VAT. This fee is paid in addition to purchase price and will be considered as part of the chargeable consideration for the property in the calculation for stamp duty liability. Buyers will be required to complete an identification process with iamsold and provide proof of how the purchase would be funded.

The property has a Buyer Information Pack containing documents about the property. The documents may not tell you everything you need to know, so you must complete your own due diligence before bidding.

The estate agent and auctioneer may recommend the services of other providers to you, in which they will be paid for the referral.

Location 
With its close-knit community feel and easy access to both central London and Hertfordshire’s
many glorious green spaces, St Albans offers that rarest of luxuries – balance. Though just
minutes from the city centre and train station, outdoor types can just as quickly revel in the
choice of leafy parks, long walks and challenging golf courses.
Meanwhile, St Albans’ crowning glory, Verulamium Park, offers over 100 acres of picturesque
gardens, wildlife, lakes, sports facilities and tennis courts.
For the finer things in life, take afternoon tea in the perfectly manicured surrounds of
Sopwell House, or escape for a secluded picnic for two by the river. In fact, whatever you’re
into, St Albans offers boundless possibilities.
Nestled in the buzzing heart of St Albans, with your home at Grange Court you couldn’t
be better placed to enjoy its many pleasures. Just moments from your door, discover great
brunch spots and cosy pubs; lively bars and fine dining; favourite restaurant chains and
unique family-run cafés; independent boutiques and can’t-live-without
high street shops.
Yet there’s much more than shopping and indulgence on offer. If culture’s your thing,
catch a movie at The Odyssey, an Art Deco gem, a play at the endearing Abbey Theatre,
or check out a gig at the renowned Alban Arena or one of the other more quirky venues
dotted around the city. Or because sometimes it’s all about the simple pleasures in life,
stroll through the pretty, atmospheric streets and drink in the laid-back St Albans vibe.

Transport 
St Albans’ fast and direct connections make getting around easy.
The city’s main station offers a speedy commute into King’s Cross St Pancras in less than half an hour, with a choice of onward connections to the West End, City and major airports.
St Albans Abbey Station, meanwhile, takes you straight into Euston via Watford Junction. If you’d rather travel at your own speed, the apartments’ allocated parking and nearby M1 and M25 makes driving in any direction simple.
