This South Wales auction house is in such a state it's been condemned and can't be viewed

Thursday, June 8, 2023

DO you fancy the ultimate property doer upper challenge?

This South Wales terraced house has gone on the market but it is considered to be in such a dangerous state of repair people are being advised to view it from a distance.

There is a condemned notice stuck to the front and prospective buyers are warned they should view from the garden or the rear lane.

The house, at 8 Suffolk Place, Ogmore Vale, Bridgend, Mid Glamorgan, is being sold by Newport-based Paul Fosh Auctions. 

It has a guide price of just £14,000-plus. 

Angie Davey, of Paul Fosh Auctions, said: "The house looks a lot better from the outside than it is inside but make no mistake it's in a real state. And even though it's almost the ultimate doer upper and will require all sorts of construction skills, it's creating quite strong pre auction interest.

"The property has a condemned notice pinned to the front door and we're therefore advising that internal viewings will be not be conducted on this mid terraced house due to the very real danger to anyone venturing inside.

"Although we've not made an internal inspection of the house it's fair to say that it'll required a fill renovation from top to bottom to anyone brave enough to take on the challenge.

"The  condemned notice is on the house due to the internal collapse of the staircase and of three walls. Although we've not been able to inspect the property we're informed by the vendor that the accommodation previously consisted of two reception rooms, kitchen, three bedrooms, bathroom with separate w.c. 

"There is rear garden, which is currently overgrown and there is a lane access. We anticipate the property once renovated could achieve a rental of approximately £575 pcm.

"As the property is unsafe we're not conducting our usual property viewings for bidders on this house. Those interested can view the exterior and the garden and also view from the rear lane, entirely at their own risk."

 

The property, along with some eighty other lots, will be offered by Paul Fosh Auctions in its online sale which starts from 12 noon on Tuesday, June 22 and ends from 5pm on Thursday, June 24.
