Valuation information

A valuation was obtained in January 2026 from VAS Group for loan-security purposes. Buyers should rely on their own valuation, survey, inspection, legal advice and lender enquiries.

The valuation recorded a cash value of £80,000. It noted that the building is a converted property with solid brick walls and a pitched slate roof, and that the property is approximately 198 years old. It described the internal condition as “good” and the fixtures and decoration as “excellent”. It also recorded that the property was fit for immediate occupation, with mains electricity, water and drainage, no gas, and electric central heating. The market rent was stated as £650 pcm.

The valuation also stated that the property was not considered suitable for a normal mortgage because the limited lease term restricts lending. Buyers should make their own enquiries with their lender or broker before proceeding. The property is understood to be Grade II listed, and buyers should verify this themselves.

Leasehold and freehold position:-

The property is leasehold. Buyers should be aware that initial investigations indicate that the freehold title to the building is currently unregistered. The available information suggests that the freehold was historically held by Richard Philip Tupper and Edgar Hedley Garth Isaac. We understand that Mr Isaac has died, and enquiries are ongoing in relation to the present freehold position, the relevant title deeds, and any steps required to deal with or register the freehold title.

Information provided by the managing agents indicates that previous enquiries have been made into resolving the position, including contact with solicitors, but the matter has not yet been regularised. The available correspondence suggests that, if the deeds cannot be located, a first registration application may require evidence reconstructing the title and explaining what has happened to the deeds.

Buyers should take their own legal advice and rely on their own enquiries in relation to the lease, the remaining term, the freehold position, mortgageability, ground rent, service charge, listed status, any lease extension rights, and any implications for future saleability.
