Tenure & Auction Information

The property is freehold, and an important feature of the sale is that the successful purchaser will also acquire the freehold of the downstairs flat. This means the purchaser will own the freehold of the building and will become the freeholder for both the first-floor property and the ground-floor flat.

The property itself is subject to a South Tyneside lease. Prospective purchasers are strongly advised to review the lease and satisfy themselves regarding the remaining term, terms and conditions, responsibilities and any associated obligations before bidding.

The property also benefits from a new roof with approximately 8 years remaining on the warranty, together with updated gutters, fascias and chimney works, providing useful reassurance regarding a number of the property's key external elements.

The property is being offered by way of unconditional auction, meaning the successful bidder will be required to proceed with the purchase in accordance with the auction terms and timescales. Mortgage finance may not be suitable due to the nature of the sale and prospective buyers should ensure they have the necessary funds available to complete.

We recommend that all prospective purchasers carry out their own legal and financial investigations prior to bidding and carefully review the auction legal pack.

Offering generous accommodation, two good-sized bedrooms, excellent storage, a private rear garden, recently upgraded roofing and external elements, and the additional benefit of owning the freehold of the downstairs flat, this presents an interesting opportunity for a cash buyer or investor looking for a property with potential.
