REGISTERING FOR THE AUCTION
Before checking the Legal Pack or bidding, prospective buyers will firstly need to register.

All registered parties will be able to view the Legal Pack online and download copies for their solicitors if still interested.

AGENTS NOTES
1. A reputable local Letting Agent informs us that "in reasonable condition, the property should rent for £750 to £795 a MONTH" ie £9,000 to £9,540 a YEAR on an Assured Tenancy. This works out at an approx 6.9% yield gross.
2. The Legal Pack (Draft Contract, Local Searches, Property Information Form etc) has been ordered and will be available soon from the auction page, once registered.
3. Although this property is to be sold by online auction, if needed, prospective buyers can still arrange surveys, gas and electrical safety inspections and mortgages, but will obviously need to arrange these at their own expense and BEFORE the auction date.
4. The Executors have made it clear they MAY consider a "pre-auction offer" and we therefore reserve the right to withdraw the property from the public auction at short notice if an acceptable pre-auction offer is made.
5. The price range for the online auction is £120,000 to £140,000 but the online portals will only show the lowest figure in any range.

The guide price can be subject to change.
Please be aware that the “Guides” are provided as an indication of each Seller’s minimum expectation.

This reserve figure cannot be higher than 10% above a single figure guide. Following the fall of the virtual hammer contracts are exchanged and there is no going back!
