Flat for sale in Highland Road, Southsea PO4

To be sold by public auction at A date to be confirmed

(unless sold previously).
Guide price: £80,000-£85,000.
We invite immediate cash offers prior to possible Public Auction for this well-situated vacant one bedroom first floor flat, very keenly guided to reflect a short lease term together with a need for general up-dating; of interest to owner-occupiers or investors in particular, with a projected rental return of around £800 p.c.m. Highland Road runs from Festing Road/Albert Road junction to the main Eastney Road, No. 166 being on the south side a short distance from the latter, an exceptionally convenient address some quarter of a mile only from The Seafront, a little over a mile from Southsea Town Centre (Palmerston Road Shopping Precinct), and within comfortable reach of a wide range of public amenities. The flat itself is one of two units within an inner-terrace, flat-fronted property, converted in the late-1980s and having a brick facade under a tiled roof. Formerly privately owned and occupied, it benefits from gas fired central heating but, as stated, now requires a programme of refurbishment throughout, upon completion of which it is considered ideal for continued owner-occupation, or for lucrative, high-yield letting. A worthwhile, low cost addition to any investment portfolio. Full particulars are given as follows:
