THE PROPERTY

Occupying the first floor of this fine regency building is a self contained one bedroom flat ( 397 Sq Ft ) with a 57 year lease.
Monthly service charge £147.09
Sold with vacant possession.

LOCATION

The Paragaon is situated in the very heart of Bath with The Circus, Brock Street and The Royal Crescent a stroll away. A walk down to Milsom Street and the city centre, offering an array of cultural and leisure facilities with some of the finest shops and restaurants to be found outside London. Bath Spa train station allows access to London Paddington and the M4 (Junction 18) is approximately 10 miles distant. There is an excellent range of schools in both the public and state sector. Bath is one of only three UK World Heritage Cities and this property is ideally placed to walk into Bath and enjoy all it offers including The Theatre Royal and Bath Festivals Trust, providing an eclectic programme of events over the year.

THE OPPORTUNITY

FLAT FOR BASIC UPDATING

The flat has been let for many years and now requires basic updating but has scope for a fine home or investment in this incredibly sought after central location.

SCOPE TO EXTEND LEASE

We understand there is scope to increase the lease - buyers must make their own investigations.
In order to apply for a lease extension under the Leasehold Reform Housing & Urban Development Act 1993, there is certain criteria which need to be fulfilled. To be a qualifying tenant, the lease must have been for a minimum term of 21 years when originally granted, and the tenant must have been the registered owner of the flat for a minimum of two years.

STANDARD AUCTION INFORMATION

BUYER’S PREMIUM

Please be aware all purchasers are subject to a £1000 + VAT (£1,200 inc VAT) buyer's premium which is ALWAYS payable upon exchange of contracts whether the sale is concluded before, during or after the auction date.

GUIDE PRICE

An indication of the seller's current minimum acceptable price at auction. The guide price or range of guide prices is given to assist consumers in deciding whether to pursue a purchase. It is usual, but not always the case, that a provisional reserve range is agreed between the seller and the auctioneer at the start of marketing. As the reserve is not fixed at this stage and can be adjusted by the seller at any time up to the day of the auction in the light of interest shown during the marketing period, a guide price is issued. This guide price can be shown in the form of a minimum and maximum price range within which an acceptable sale price (reserve) would fall, or as a single price figure within 10% of which the minimum acceptable price (reserve) would fall. A guide price is different to a reserve price (see separate definition). Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction.

RESERVE PRICE

The seller's minimum acceptable price at auction and the figure below which the auctioneer cannot sell. The reserve price is not disclosed and remains confidential between the seller and the auctioneer. Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction.
