For sale: Five 'bargain' Birmingham homes set to be auctioned this month

They all need renovations, but several family homes in popular suburbs across south-west Birmingham will have attractive starting prices in Bond Wolfe’s next auction.

These include a three-bedroomed, semi-detached house at 105 Nigel Avenue in Northfield that will have a guide price* of just £25,000+ in the livestreamed auction on Thursday 26 March.

Craig Upton, marketing director at Bond Wolfe, explained how price reflected the fact that modernisation was needed, making the property an attractive target for bidders.

Mr Upton said: “This is a great example of the family homes in our next auction where the need for refurbishment results in low starting prices that will prompt competitive bidding.

“Many properties are in and around popular suburbs in south-west Birmingham, where homes of this nature can often sell for £300,000 or more.” The Nigel Avenue house has a front garden with the potential for driveway parking, subject to planning permission for a dropped kerb.

This leasehold property has a hall, two reception rooms and a kitchen downstairs, with the landing, bedrooms and bathroom upstairs, plus more gardens at the rear, and there are more than seven years left on its 99-year lease.

Another family home that’s bound to catch bidders’ eyes with its £55,000+ guide price is a three-bedroomed, mid-terraced property at 25 Hole Farm Way, in Kings Norton.

This freehold property has a hall, reception room, dining kitchen and guest toilet downstairs, with the landing, bedrooms and bathroom upstairs.

There is gas central heating, double glazing, front and back gardens plus a driveway, although again modernisation is needed.

Not far away at 142 Green Acres Road in Kings Norton is a three-bedroomed, semi-detached house with a £75,000+ guide price.

This freehold property has a porch, hall, two interconnected reception rooms and a kitchen downstairs, with the landing, bedrooms and bathroom upstairs.

Again there is gas central heating and double glazing, with front and back gardens plus a driveway, but modernisation is needed.

Further south in Longbridge is a another three-bedroomed, semi-detached house at 134 Coney Green Drive, with a £69,000+ guide price.

This freehold property, which may be suitable for development subject to planning permission, has a driveway, garage and gardens front and back.

Inside is a porch, hall, reception room with dining area and kitchen downstairs, with the landing, bedrooms and bathroom upstairs.

There is gas central heating and double glazing, but again there is a need for modernisation. Back up in Northfield is another three-bedroomed, semi-detached house at 152 Central Avenue with a £75,000+ guide price.

This freehold property has a porch, hall, through reception room, kitchen and utility with store downstairs, with the landing, bedrooms and bathroom upstairs.

There is gas central heating and double glazing, plus front and rear gardens, although refurbishment works are required.

The properties in south-west Birmingham will be among 178 lots appearing in Bond Wolfe’s next auction which is due to start at 8.30am on Thursday 26 March.

The auction will be livestreamed via Bond Wolfe’s website with remote bidding by proxy, telephone or internet.
