Description

SUMMARY
A short walk to the vibrant suburb of Hoole and close to the City of Chester, this mid-terraced property is in shell condition following a fire a few years ago. The property is pavement-fronted, with a small courtyard garden to the rear and a convenient parking area to the rear for local residents.


DESCRIPTION
A remarkable development opportunity in a highly sought-after location. This mid-terrace property requires a full scheme of redevelopment, having been substantially destroyed by fire some years ago. Whilst the current owners started to attempt the reconstruction, works halted, and the property has remained as a shell. There are complete walls to front and rear, a partial roof and a number of floor joists, but no first floor nor access to it. Buyers should satisfy themselves as to the extent of works required. There is currently no definition of internal room dividers, and as such the buyer may choose how they wish to divide the living spaces. There are doors in place to the front and rear only. The property is pavement-fronted and has a small courtyard garden to the rear. There is a convenient parking area to the rear for local residents, and the many amenities of Hoole village are only a short walk away, including multiple bars/restaurants and shops to cater for everyday needs.

This property is offered through Modern Method of Auction. Should you view, offer or bid your data will be shared with the Auctioneer, iamsold Limited. This method requires both parties to complete the transaction within 56 days, allowing buyers to proceed with mortgage finance (subject to lending criteria, affordability and survey). The buyer is required to sign a reservation agreement and make payment of a non-refundable Reservation Fee of 4.5% of the purchase price including VAT, subject to a minimum of £6600.00 including VAT.

Buyers will be required to complete an identification process with iamsold and provide proof of how the purchase would be funded. The property has a Buyer Information Pack containing documents about the property.
