THE RENOVATION GAME

Independent, The (London),  Jun 11, 2008  by BEN NAYLOR

BASEMENT FLAT, BATH

What's for sale?

A rare opportunity to get your foot on the property ladder for under 100,000, this basement flat goes up for auction on 16 June. Currently a one-bedroom property, there's scope for a second bedroom. And there's an Aga in the kitchen. It's in an attractive mid-terrace Georgian building, typical of Bath, surrounded with wrought-iron railings and with a private entrance.

How much?

Guide price of 65,000

What's needed?

Equal proportions of vision and optimism, to see beyond the flat's current state. The interior is severely dilapidated - it needs rewiring, new plumbing and damp treatment. How much you spend depends upon your own requirements, of course, but 25,000 would cover all the basics.

Profit potential

A one-bedroom flat on the same street was recently sold for 178,000, so you could be looking at a quick and high turnover, with renovations expected to take six months. Bath is a beautiful historic city with great amenities and excellent transport links to Bristol and London.
