THE OPPORTUNITY

PRIME APARTMENT | BASIC UPDATING

MANAGEMENT COMPANY WORKS TO BALCONY

We understand this is a non structural issue relating to the balcony at the front of the building.

The cost of the works is due to be funded by the management company comprising the 5 leaseholders in the building.

Flat 3 is the largest in the block and the contribution is double – equating to £18,000
This cost will be passed onto the new owners.

LOCATION

Evesham Road is a much sought-after Pittville address, a leafy and long boulevard that runs from the town centre all the way to the Racecourse dividing renowned Pitville Park into two distinct areas, of which both, the property fully enjoys. Saxham is directly opposite the entrance to the park, which is widely known for its boating lake, Pump Rooms and pretty cafes and it is also within a very short stroll to a collection of smart local coffee shops and convenience stores. John Lewis department store and Cheltenham’s fashionable shopping districts Montpellier and Promenade can be reached by foot in less than 15 minutes. A cultural centre, Cheltenham plays host to several highly acclaimed festivals including Music, Food and Literature. The town is also known for its excellent schools to include The Cheltenham Ladies’ College, Cheltenham College, Berkhampstead and Dean Close, all within a comfortable walk or bike ride. Communication links are excellent from this area, with easy access to the M5 Motorway and main line train station with lines to major cities

BUYER’S PREMIUM

Please be aware all purchasers are subject to a £1,500 + VAT (£1,800 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.
