Family homes for auction in desirable Birmingham suburb

You don’t get many family-sized houses in Sutton Coldfield for £100,000+, but that’s the guide price* for one appearing at Bond Wolfe Auctions’ next auction on Wednesday 9 December.

The vacant three-bedroomed, semi-detached at 29 Reddicap Heath Road needs modernisation, although with gardens front and back it may be suitable for development, subject to planning consents.

It’s a similar story for a three-bedroomed, semi-detached house also vacant in the north of the city at 11 Hamstead Road in Great Barr.

This property benefits from gas central heating, double glazing, a driveway and gardens, but with renovations required it comes with a guide price of £99,000+.

Another vacant property set to excite bidders is a three-bedroomed, semi-detached house at 69 Church Road in Erdington, with gardens front and back and a rear garage or workshop.

This lot boasts gas central heating and double glazing on the majority of its windows, and yet it has a guide price of just £50,000+.

Down in the south of the city is a vacant three-bedroomed, semi-detached house with gas central heating and double glazing at 67 Nigel Avenue in Northfield.

This property has a guide price of £69,000 to £74,000, reflecting its need for a decent makeover.

Gurpeet Bassi, chief executive of Bond Wolfe Auctions, said: “These four lots are all great examples of the family sized properties with tempting guide prices that you can find at our auctions.

“While they often need modernisation, they are ideal purchases for first-time buyers with DIY skills or for landlords looking to expand their portfolios.”

At the other end of the market is an impressive Grade II-listed house at 4 Windsor Terrace, off the Hagley Road in Edgbaston, with a guide price of £270,000+.

This recently renovated three-bedroomed, semi-detached property is just five minutes from Birmingham city centre, Birmingham University and the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, and has good potential as a house of multiple occupation, subject to planning permission.

Meanwhile, a three-bedroomed detached house with attic space in the highly desirable town of Solihull is also appearing in the auction with a guide price of £450,000+.

This property at 175 Danford Lane stands behind a driveway and front garden, with further side and rear driveways and a rear garden, and although it needs modernisation it comes with planning permission for an extension.

Mr Bassi of Bond Wolfe Auctions added: “What these lots show is the sheer choice of attractive properties available at our auction, with something for everybody.”

The lots described are just a selection from a total of 183 lots that will go under the hammer at Bond Wolfe Auctions’ auction on 9 December.
