Grotty block of flats with boarded-up windows to go under the hammer

This grotty block of flats with boarded-up windows could be yours for £910,000. Jervis Court in Walsall is due to go under the hammer at Bond Wolfe's next auction next month.

The run-down building, which has 39 flats, needs considerable renovation and could be suitable for redevelopment, subject to planning permission. Located on Dog Kennel Lane, the five-storey block consists of 21 one-bedroom flats and 18 studio flats.

Each one-bedroomed flat includes a hall, living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom, while the studio flats have a hall, kitchen, living room-come-bedroom and bathroom. The block also has a communal hall, laundry room and garden.

Gurpreet Bassi, chief executive of Bond Wolfe, said: “This five-storey block is situated within a mixed-use area of commercial and residential units, with local shops and services within walking distance. The flats benefit from an intercom door entry system, a lift to each floor and double glazing, with plenty of off-road parking and a communal garden outside."

He continued: "This property is vacant but needs renovation, and may be suitable for redevelopment, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.” Jervis Court is just one of many lots that appears in Bond Wolfe’s next auction, which will start at 9am on Thursday, May 16.
