3 Bedroom Semi-Detached House, 28 Booker Avenue, Allerton, Liverpool, L18 4RD

Overview

Hammer Price Homes are pleased to present for sale by online auction, for Cash Buyers only, this vacant & chain free 3 bedroom semi-detached house in one of the most sought after areas of South Liverpool.

The property briefly comprises: To the ground floor there is an entrance porch & hallway leading to a lounge, dining room with patio doors, kitchen and second bathroom. To the first floor are 3 bedrooms, bathroom and separate W.C.

Outside there is a small garden to the front of the property and a larger garden to the rear with a patio area. There is a driveway providing adequate off street parking. There is an “inaccessible by car” garage to the side of the property which could be used as a workshop.

The property is in need of full modernisation throughout suiting those looking for a modernisation project. The property provides scope to reconfigure and extend subject to gaining the necessary planning consent.

Condition

The floors in both the dining room and the lounge show signs of unevenness. A Chartered surveyor who carried out the valuation of the property is of the opinion that the flooring joists are likely to have failed; potentially due to timber decay or settlement of the party wall.

There are a number of cracks along the ceiling and down the wall in bedroom one. The floors in both bedroom one and two also shown signs of unevenness and again the surveyor advises that this is likely due to the wear and weight on the flooring joists. The repair/replacement of the joists would form part of the property’s renovation works and the Reserve Price reflects the renovation work needed.  Due to the property condition including those issues mentioned above this auction is recommended for cash buyers only as we believe it will be very difficult to finance through a traditional mortgage.

The property is sold as seen and you will not be able to withdraw from the sale with a return of the reservation fee citing issues around securing lending on the property or for reasons concerning the condition of the property, including the issues mentioned in our listing re flooring/joists.
