Overview
Hammer Price Homes are pleased to present for sale by online auction this semi-detached property in Southport, split into 2, self-contained, 2 bedroom flats. The sale is open for cash buyers only.
The property briefly comprises: To the ground floor flat, an entrance hallway leading to a living room, kitchen and bedroom. A set of stairs at the rear of the kitchen leads to an additional bedroom and bathroom.
A separate entrance door on the ground floor gives access to stairs leading to the first floor flat. A landing on the first floor gives further access to a lounge, kitchen, 2 bedrooms and a bathroom.
The property also benefits from a basement.
Outside there is a front garden and driveway providing off road parking. The rear of the property benefits from a good-sized garden. The gardens are overgrown as can be seen at the open day. The winning bidder will be responsible for clearing the rear garden and its contents post completion.
Please be advised that this is a probate sale and the deeds to the property have been lost, as a result the administrator to the estate and their solicitor have successfully registered the property with Land Registry with possessory title. Land Registry documents are available for download from the Hammer Price Homes website.
As can be seen on the land registry documents, both the ground floor and first floor flats have been registered on the same title number. The property is being sold as a one, freehold property which has been split internally into 2 flats. It should be noted that it is unlikely that the conversion has planning permissions or complies with present building regulations. If a potential purchaser wanted to keep them as separate flats, then the relevant permissions may still be required and should be arranged by the buyer post completion. Likewise, any applications to split title should also be done post completion.
The property requires full renovation throughout, and this sale is open for cash buyers only due to the general condition we feel the property is unmortgageable. There will be no grounds for the buyer to withdraw from the sale with a return of the reservation fee citing issues around the condition of the property, for any issues in financing the purchase, the possessory title registration, the property configuration or for any information within the searches. The property is sold as seen.
