Re-listed Renovation Project in Nottingham Property Auction

Here’s an interesting situation. This property was offered at an auction I attended about a week ago but didn’t sell. It’s described as being a 3 bed semi requiring a full scheme of modernisation and improvement. It received quite a few bids but fell short of the reserve and was withdrawn. The last bid was £67,500.

The property presents better, making it easier…

Property Renovation Project, Semi Detached House – 1

Here’s a video of my latest property. I bought this ‘creatively’, which we would have called No Money Down a while ago, but that’s a story for another time.
