RENTAL APPRAISAL

After reviewing historic market research and comparable properties we consider 52 Meadow Park an ideal rental investment opportunity and would be delighted to work with any Investor looking to purchase it. The property is situated in a popular and quiet residential location with access to the M4 without having to cross the city. The property must be fully complaint with current legislation and offered to the rental market at the required standard and in good condition. If basic updating is done to the property we would advise marketing it for rent in the region of £2300pcm as a family home. I would be happy to discuss this investment opportunity and valuation on a complimentary basis and can be contacted on 01225 300551 or hannah@tyningsbath.com.

IMPORTANT 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.
