Guide Price* £110,000

Substantial four-bedroom period home close to Derby city centre

Description

This substantial four bedroom Victorian terrace presents a compelling opportunity for investors and owner-occupiers. Offered in fair condition and similar in style and layout to others in the terrace, the property provides generous accommodation, spacious reception areas and the character typical of homes from this era.

Positioned within easy reach of Derby city centre, the property benefits from close proximity to the Derbion shopping centre, Pride Park and the University of Derby, making it particularly attractive for professional sharers, students or families seeking convenient access to amenities and transport links. Derby railway station and major road networks are also nearby, supporting strong and consistent rental demand in this part of DE1.

From an investment perspective, the property offers clear scope to add value through cosmetic improvement and modernisation, with the potential to create a strong yielding buy-to-let or HMO investment, subject to any necessary consents.

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.
