4 bed semi-detached house for sale

Maze Road, Kew TW9

4 Bedroom, Semi-Detached House, 9 Maze Road, Richmond, TW9 3DA

Overview

Hammer Price Homes are pleased to present for sale by online auction this 4 bedroom semi-detached house in the highly sought after conservation area of Kew Green, Richmond. The sale is open for cash buyers only.

The property maintains many original period features and briefly comprises: To the ground floor there is an entrance hallway leading to a living room, dining room, sitting room, kitchen and downstairs WC. To the first floor there is a landing leading to 4 bedrooms and a bathroom with separate W.C.

Outside there is a front garden, and to the rear, the property benefits from a good sized well kept, private garden. The property and its gardens provide an excellent opportunity for investors and buyers looking for a home renovation project. Parking is available on street with a residents permit.

As will been seen upon viewing, there is evidence of a number of cracks both externally and internally at the property. Due to this, the sellers have commissioned a structural inspection report which was carried out in April 2025, to determine the extent and cause of the structural defects as well as the necessary repairs needed. A copy of this report is available for download from the Hammer Price Homes website. Whilst the property is in need of complete refurbishment, the surveyor has estimated the costs of the necessary structural repairs to be c. £10,000 – £15,000. No further crack monitoring or structural surveys have been undertaken to date. Prospective buyers are to obtain their own independent advice on necessary repairs and costs and should not solely rely on the information provided. Prospective buyers are welcome to bring along builders/structural specialists to viewings if required. Any further structural investigation works should be done by the buyer, post completion if they wish. The property is sold as seen.

Prior to auctioning, the vendors have had a number of works carried out to the roof and electrics to try and protect the property from any further damage whilst empty. Please see the invoices showing the extent of the works carried out uploaded to the Hammer Price Homes website.

The property requires full renovation throughout, and this sale is open for cash buyers only due to the condition (see structural report) and low EPC; we feel the property is likely to be unmortgageable. If you are looking to obtain any other form of finance on the property, then please ensure that you have checked with your lender prior to bidding. There will be no grounds for the buyer to withdraw from the sale with a return of the reservation fee citing issues around the condition of the property (including anything of a structural nature or the contents of the structural report), for any issues in financing the purchase, or for any information within the searches. The property is sold as seen.

How to make an offer

Offers can only be made via the online auction in the form of a bid once the bidding window has opened. No offers will be accepted outside of the auction process.

Once a sale has been agreed (STC) and a price agreed then no further price negotiation will take place. This sale price is fixed at the winning auction price and the buyer honoured to pay it. Any subsequent attempt by the buyer to contact the vendor direct to renegotiate on price would hold the buyer in breach of our terms. Should the buyer withdraw then they may have to forfeit the reservation fee. Please read the buyer terms and faq’s on the site for more details.
