They are among 173 lots listed across southern England, Yorkshire and Scotland by Clive Emson Auctioneers, a member of Portsmouth Property Association.

Described as in “need of improvement”, a three-bedroom, mid-terrace house at 40 North End Avenue, Portsmouth, with two bathrooms, is guided freehold at £160,000 - £180,000 and comes with vacant possession.

Joe Rocks, auction appraiser, said: “Close to local schools and amenities, and with road access out of the city via the M275 or A3, the property requires a significant amount of improvement.

“It is worthy of the scheme of works required, after which it will be ideally suited to an owner occupier, resale into the local market or addition to an income-producing portfolio.”
