A three-bedroom house in the charming village of Romiley, Greater Manchester, is up for sale at a much lower price than similar properties in the area – but there’s a catch.
The semi-detached house, located in a village known for its four conservation areas and beautiful countryside, is on the market with a guide price of £110,000. This is a steal compared to the average price of £312,690 for semi-detached homes in the area, as per Zoopla.
The house boasts a prime location near the village centre, with easy access to train and bus routes. It offers ample space, including a hallway, two reception rooms, a kitchen and lean-to on the ground floor, and three bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs.
The property also features a front garden and driveway, a garage, and a sizeable back garden. However, as the photos clearly reveal, the house requires significant structural work and a complete refurbishment. It’s not a project for the faint-hearted.
Pictures reveal the current state of the home, with holes in the floor, some collapsed windows, and an overgrown garden. The property will be sold ‘as is’, with any remaining items, fixtures, and fittings included, reports Manchester Evening News.
Pugh Auctions, who are advertising the property set to go under the hammer on March 26, explained: “The property has suffered from damage primarily to the rear with the collapse of bay windows to the ground and first floors.
“A contractor has attended the property and propped the floors and roof and boarded the rear. We are advised that the Fire Service have turned off all utilities.”
The auction house issued a warning to those interested in buying: “You must be aware that there is currently an Emergency Prohibition Order under Section 43 of the Housing Act 2004 on the property prohibiting occupation for living or sleeping until it has been repaired fully and to regulations.”
“Due to the works required the property is currently non-mortgageable.”
Bidding for this Romiley home kicks off on Tuesday, March 26 and wraps up on Wednesday, March 27. The lot will not be sold before the auction. For more details, visit Pugh Auctions.
