Derelict period cottage requiring total restoration

Cash buyers only

29 / 30 Leckford presents a unique opportunity to acquire an unmodernised cottage in a generous plot. The cottage is currently in a state of disrepair and requires a complete programme of restoration and refurbishment (subject to
obtaining the relevant consents). There is also potential for extension subject to planning permission. We believe that the derelict condition of the property is such that only cash buyers would be eligible to purchase. In its current layout
the property offers 3 / 4 bedrooms, two reception rooms, a kitchen and a store room accessed from the rear of the building.

OUTSIDE
The gardens and grounds are a particular feature of the property, including a small area of woodland and an expanse of lawn. Although there is currently no driveway, there is a gate to the side of the plot which would provide access for one.

LOCATION
The property is situated in the heart of the desirable Test Valley village of Leckford. The Georgian market town of Stockbridge is less than mile away from the house and has an excellent range of amenities including primary and secondary schools, boutiques, shops, restaurants, and a doctor’s surgery. The area is famous for its world class chalk stream trout fishing and within a few minutes of the property are some beautiful walks through the stunning Test Valley plus the Leckford golf course. Winchester is 12 miles away with fast trains to London Waterloo, and the M3, A34 and A303 give easy access to Southampton and the South Coast, London, Oxford, the Midlands and the West Country. The local secondary school is Test Valley School and local independent schools are Farleigh, St Swithun’s, Winchester College, Prince’s Mead, Stroud and Embley.

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.

Making an offer

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.
