The house has been fully decorated in that period also. A new boiler installed, new shower room, smart meters installed for gas and electric.

Flat 3 has not been renovated, but a new under counter water heater was installed, if it was to be remodelled it could command a higher rent as it has a studio bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and a large outside court yard with its own rear entrance.

The current EPC lasts until December 2027. There are only three gas heated radiators in communal areas that now have thermostat controls. The current EPC may not reflect the work that has been undertaken. Note that Flat 3 has its own EPC, which it is valid until 21 July 2035.

This property is for sale by Online Auction. The Online Modern Method of Auction is a flexible buyer friendly method of purchase. The purchaser will have 56 working days to exchange and complete once the draft contract is received by the buyer’s solicitor (or 10 working days after receipt of the buyer’s premium, whichever is earlier). Allowing the additional time to exchange and complete on the property means interested parties can proceed with traditional residential finance. Upon close of a successful auction or if the vendor accepts an offer during the auction, the buyer will be required to put down a non-refundable reservation fee called a Buyer’s Premium. This secures the transaction and takes the property off the market. The buyer will be required to agree to our terms and conditions prior to solicitors being instructed. Copies of the Reservation form and all terms and conditions can be found on the online Auction website or requested from our Auction Department.

Please note this property is subject to an undisclosed Reserve Price which is typically no more than 10% in excess of the Starting Bid. Both the Starting Bid and Reserve Price can be subject to change. Our primary duty of care is to the vendor. Terms and conditions apply to the Modern Method of Auction, which is operated by GOTO Auctions.

Auctioneer's Comments:

This property is for sale by Online Auction which is a flexible and buyer friendly method of purchase. The purchaser will not be exchanging contracts on the fall of the virtual hammer but will be given 56 working days in which to complete the transaction, from the date the Draft Contract is issued by the seller’s solicitor. By giving a buyer time to exchange contracts on the property, means normal residential finance can be arranged.

The Buyer’s Premium secures the transaction and takes the property off the market. Fees paid to the Auctioneer reserve the property to the buyer during the Reservation Period and are paid in addition to the purchase price and are considered within calculations for Stamp Duty Land Tax.
