For investment only, a one-bedroom maisonette positioned at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, just half a mile from Thame High Street. The property benefits from a peaceful setting while remaining close to the shops, restaurants and amenities of the town centre.
The accommodation comprises a double bedroom with an additional study or walk-in wardrobe, a bright lounge overlooking the private rear garden, a modern fitted kitchen, and a family bathroom. An upgraded central heating system adds further appeal, and the private garden offers a rare feature for a maisonette in this location.
The property is currently let on a periodic tenancy, with rent increasing to £1,000 per calendar month in November. With a tenant in situ, this presents an excellent investment opportunity with immediate rental income. Based on the current guide price, the property achieves a gross yield of approximately 9.2%.
The property is leasehold, with a term of 99 years from 1st January 1982, leaving approximately 56 years unexpired. Due to the remaining lease length, this opportunity is open to cash buyers only.

Legal pack
For each lot there are Special Conditions of Sale and other documentation provided by the vendor's solicitors. If you wish to receive the Legal Pack, you will be able to register for this via the link on our website. You will receive notification by email once the Legal Pack is received from the solicitor. The documents may not tell you everything you need to know about the property and you are required to complete your own due diligence before bidding.
Additional fees
A buyers charge of £1,500 including VAT is payable on each lot that you buy, in addition to the sale price. Please be aware there may be other additional fees, including disbursements contained in the legal pack payable on completion. Please ensure that you check the legal pack for each lot that you are interested in, prior to bidding.
Deposit
If you are the highest bidder when the auction ends, contracts are exchanged between you and the seller. Both parties are legally bound to complete the transaction as per the special conditions in the legal pack. Your card will be automatically debited for the bidder security amount of £6,000 and we'll require the remaining balance for a 10% non-refundable deposit. We will contact you after the auction has finished to make these arrangements.
Pre-auction offers
These must be made in writing and will only be considered if the Legal Pack has been inspected and proof of funding has been supplied to the auctioneers. Pre-auction offers are only considered on an auction basis in accordance with the “Terms & Conditions - Unconditional Auction".
Mortgage finance
We advise all bidders who require a mortgage to confirm with their Financial Advisor as to whether or not the lot you are interested in would be suitable security to borrow finance against, prior to bidding. If you need to arrange a mortgage it is important that you obtain an offer from your lender before the day of the auction. Most building societies and banks will instruct a surveyor to prepare a valuation report before making a mortgage offer.
* Generally speaking Guide Prices are provided as an indication of each seller's minimum expectation, i.e. 'The Reserve'. They are not necessarily figures which a property will sell for and may change at any time prior to the auction. Virtually every property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the Auctioneer cannot sell the property during the auction) which we expect will be set within the Guide Range or no more than 10% above a single figure Guide.
By setting a proxy bid, the system will automatically bid on your behalf to maintain your position as the highest bidder, up to your proxy bid amount. If you are outbid, you will be notified via email so you can opt to increase your bid if you so choose.
If two of more users place identical bids, the bid that was placed first takes precedence, and this includes proxy bids.
Another bidder placed an automatic proxy bid greater or equal to the bid you have just placed. You will need to bid again to stand a chance of winning.
Whether you’re looking to sell or let your property, we can provide you with a free, accurate valuation based on our expert knowledge and the latest trends in your local area.
