Flats 1, 3 & 4, The Rock, Albert Close, LEEDS, West Yorkshire, LS27 8PX

ANNOUNCEMENT:
Potential purchaser’s attention is drawn to clause 8 of the special conditions of sale.

Three, two bedroom apartments, within a modern block of four
Requires extensive remedial work.

Description:
Offered for sale are three self-contained apartments set within a small modern block of four. The building is in need of extensive remedial work, but would make an ideal purchase for a cash buyer only. The property has suffered significant damp and water ingress due to lack of maintenance over the years as there’s no management company in place. Theres damaged sections of the tiled cladding, where it’s loose or has fallen off and some of the rendering is showing signs of erosion. As the management company was dissolved, the freehold has now passed to the Crown Estate (Bona Vacantia) this will have to be a cash purchaser only, as there is no maintenance or insurance in place and the architects warranty is no longer
valid. Each flat has electric heating, double glazing, a security intercom system fitted and the building does have a fire alarm in place. All three apartments have modern, contemporary interiors with floor to ceiling patio doors & windows in the living area, modern kitchen and bathroom fittings and set within an architect designed modern block.

Location:
The property is within walking distance of the many local amenities, shops, bars and restaurants Morley has to offer and just a few minutes walk to the train station for convenient access into Leeds City Centre. Once all the issues are dealt with these apartments have the potential to offer a great rental acquisition, being in a popular area with easy commute to the city or to sell on individually as all are on their own title.

Important Notice:
For each Lot, a contract documentation fee of £1,500 (inclusive of VAT) is payable to Barnard Marcus Auctions by the buyer. The seller may charge additional fees payable upon completion. If applicable, such fees are detailed within the Special Conditions of Sale. Buyers are deemed to bid in full knowledge of this.

The Guide Price quoted must not be relied upon by prospective purchasers as a valuation or assessment of value of the property. It is intended to provide purchasers with an indication of the region at which the reserve may be set at the time of going to press. The guide price may be subject to variation and interested parties are advised to make regular checks for variations and should be aware that the reserve price may be either below or above the quoted guide price.

Prospective purchasers should also be aware that the eventual sale price may be above or below the guide level dependent upon competition, and should therefore not presume the guide to be indicative of the final expected sale price or the price the property is available at.

When setting the guide price, the auctioneers have given consideration to the seller’s instructions in respect of their indicated reserve price at the time of instruction. The reserve price, (the level below which the property will not be sold), remains confidential between the seller and the auctioneer. The guide price therefore, is intended to indicate the region at which the reserve price is intended to be set. The seller will confirm their final reserve price close to the auction date and if appropriate the auctioneers may adjust the guide price to reflect this.
Whilst Barnard Marcus make every effort to ensure the safety and security of viewers at properties, we have not carried out a detailed Health & Safety inspection of properties in our auctions and cannot therefore guarantee the safety and security of viewers.
Prospective purchasers and bidders attend properties entirely at their own risk. Particular care should be taken when accessing cellars, attics, exterior grounds and outbuildings and boundaries. All non-conducted inspections of vacant sites should be made in daylight hours only and entry into such sites is entirely at the viewers risk.
