For Sale by Modern Method of Auction

Three-bed semi-detached property, requiring modernisation. Superb location, close to Shipton Road and offering easy access to the city centre and ring road.

FOR SALE BY MODERN AUCTION

Located in the ever-popular Rawcliffe area, just off Shipton Road, this spacious property presents a fantastic opportunity to create a superb family home in one of York’s most popular residential settings.

The house now requires a programme of modernisation, including the installation of gas central heating, replacement of windows, and general cosmetic refurbishment. The electrical system was substantially upgraded around 20 years ago, providing a solid starting point for further works.

Offering generous accommodation with high ceilings throughout, the property enjoys front and rear gardens together with a connected garage, and sits within a street where several neighbouring homes have set a clear precedent for high-quality extensions and reconfiguration (subject to the necessary consents).

This is a rare chance to purchase a property with such scope, position, and potential – a blank canvas ready to be transformed into a wonderful home in a sought-after corner of York.

The next steps...

Establish funds

How will you fund the purchase?

Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.

Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.

To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.

Remember that having a 'mortgage decision in principle' can make you a more attractive buyer when you make an offer on a property. Contact our mortgage advisers for free, no obligation and impartial advice.

Some advantages of a broker are:

They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.

However advantages of working with your bank are:

You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.

with Carter Jonas.

Once you’ve found a property you want to buy, it’s time to make an offer. A bit of negotiation is to be expected, however don't offer so little that you end up in a lengthy negotiation process, as you might lose the property altogether if someone else makes a higher bid.

If other offers have been made on a property we aren't legally able to tell you what they are, but we may indicate if they were close to the asking price.
