Unsold Lots At Property Auctions Can Be Great Opportunities - And Free Money
Thursday 15th January 2026
This property was acquired post auction after failing to sell — a classic example of an excellent asset being completely overlooked by the market. It extends to 1,936 sq ft, offers four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and sits on a large plot of land. The purchase price was under £100,000, which represents an outstanding acquisition.
We’ve since had a grant approved to improve the property’s EPC rating to C. This funding is entirely non-repayable and delivered through a specific government scheme.
What you’re seeing here is the property before the grant works in this first room. In the second room, however, the works are already underway, with Kingspan insulation being installed to the external walls. The same upgrades are taking place upstairs.
This is a perfect illustration of why, when acquiring distressed or post-auction property, you should always assess grant eligibility alongside the purchase. When applied correctly, it can materially enhance both the asset and the return — and in this case, at no cost.
