Former Dental Surgery with Development Potential STPP.

A substantial former dental surgery occupying a prominent terrace position within Horden, offering an exciting opportunity for investors, developers or owner occupiers seeking a property with significant potential.

Previously operated as a dental practice and historically arranged as a four-bedroom residential terrace, the property now requires a full programme of modernisation and refurbishment throughout. However, the generous internal accommodation and flexible layout present a rare opportunity to restore the building back into a large family home or, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents, convert into a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) or other residential investment.

The accommodation offers sizeable rooms across multiple floors with scope for reconfiguration to suit a variety of uses. Externally, the property benefits from a traditional terrace frontage and is conveniently positioned close to local amenities, transport links and the nearby Durham coastline.

This is an ideal purchase for buyers looking for a project with value-add potential in an increasingly popular investment area.

ONLINE AUCTION NOTICE

I hereby acknowledge and confirm the following:  

My bid may be accepted by the seller at any time before the close of the auction.  It is subject to the terms and conditions of the auction which I have read and understood. I have read and understood the legal pack applicable to my bid/lot and agree to be bound by any special conditions within that pack. 

If my bid is successful (whether as the highest bid or upon acceptance by the seller in the course of the auction) I shall be bound by the lot terms and conditions as advertised online.  

Any amount payable at the close of the auction must be paid within 1 hour.   

Please note that the bidding process will work in a different way to an eBay auction, so there is NO advantage to bidding at the last second. 

Each auction will automatically stay open until there has not been a bid within the final 10 minutes. If no bid has been submitted within the final 10 minutes of the auction, the auction will close and the highest bidder will be successful subject to the reserve price being met or upon acceptance of an offer by the seller throughout the auction cycle. If there is another bid within 10 minutes of the last bid, the auction countdown timer will be restarted for another 10 minutes to allow further bidding. This system avoids last-minute (or second) bidding and makes for a fairer auction as in a live-room auction situation. 

Please bid in good time before the end of the auction, delaying your bid to the last seconds may disadvantage you if your connection slows or you lose internet connectivity.

The auctioneer is not responsible for any tech issues, power outage or error messages which hampers or eliminates an individual's opportunity to bid.

It is the bidder's responsibility to ensure the bid has been lodged with the auctioneer. It is therefore beneficial to bid on your chosen lot at your earliest opportunity.

The auctioneer accepts no responsibility for bids that are not received or are received late and reserves the right to reject any bid without notice. 

Minimum online bidding increments: 
£50,000 - £250 minimum bid
£50,001 to £150,000 - £500 minimum bid 
£150,001 to £250,000 - £1,000 minimum bid 
​£250,001 to £750,000 - £2,500 minimum bid
