Modern Method of Auction
Auction date not yet published
We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
EPC Rating B! Medway Drive is a spaciously appointed area of modern houses in the sought after village of Forest Row, renowned for its eclectic style and trendy setting.
The current owners have maintained and enhanced this property during their ownership for the past 21 years with new double glazing throughout and a new Bosch combi boiler adaptable to multi fuel (gas and hydrogen) when the time comes.
Along with the conservatory these are still under manufacturers guarantee.
Inside a warm welcome awaits you as you step through the door into the entrance hall with space for your coats and shoes and understairs storage.
Your eye is drawn through to the country style kitchen which is the perfect room for entertaining and creating culinary delights with the open plan aspect into the conservatory/dining room.
The addition of the downstairs wetroom shower/toilet room is a great benefit for families looking to buy with less queues in the morning!
The oak floored lounge provides a relaxing haven at the end of the day in front of the log burning stove.
Upstairs are three bedrooms with the master bedroom having the possibility to either extend or create an ensuite shower room and there is the family bathroom.
If you work from home or have hobbies the garden office is a welcome feature with power and lighting and high speed broadband and a cottage garden overlooks the allotments, so if you put your name down you'll be able to grow your own.
The front kerb has been dropped to provide off street parking and there's potential for an EV charger. The rear garden also has access to the car park, ideal if you have bikes.
Forest Row village boasts an award winning film society, locally brewed gluten-free lager, live music, restaurants, the International School of Storytelling, a biodynamic farm and a prestigious golf course, all in walking distance.
Situated on the edge of the Ashdown Forest surrounded by local schools and good public transport, within a half hour drive to Gatwick Airport.
Next door to the town of East Grinstead, with a direct line to London Bridge and London Victoria.
EPC band: B *material information* The information above has been provided by the vendor, agent and goto Group and may not be accurate. Please refer to the property’s Legal Pack.
(You can download this once you have registered your interest against the property). This pack provides material information which will help you make an informed decision before proceeding.
It may not yet include everything you need to know so please make sure you do your own due diligence as well. This property is for sale by Online Auction.
The Online Modern Method of Auction is a flexible buyer friendly method of purchase.
The purchaser will have 56 working days to exchange and complete once the draft contract is received by the buyer’s solicitor (or 10 working days after receipt of the buyer’s premium, whichever is earlier).
Allowing the additional time to exchange and complete on the property means interested parties can proceed with traditional residential finance.
Upon close of a successful auction or if the vendor accepts an offer during the auction, the buyer will be required to put down a non-refundable reservation fee called a Buyer’s Premium.
This secures the transaction and takes the property off the market. The buyer will be required to agree to our terms and conditions prior to solicitors being instructed.
Copies of the Reservation form and all terms and conditions can be found on the online Auction website or requested from our Auction Department.
Please note this property is subject to an undisclosed Reserve Price which is typically no more than 10% in excess of the Starting Bid.
Both the Starting Bid and Reserve Price can be subject to change. Our primary duty of care is to the vendor.
Terms and conditions apply to the Modern Method of Auction, which is operated by goto Auctions. To book a viewing visit Yopa.
Auctioneer's Comments: This property is for sale by Online Auction which is a flexible and buyer friendly method of purchase.
The purchaser will not be exchanging contracts on the fall of the virtual hammer but will be given 56 working days in which to complete the transaction, from the date the Draft Contract is issued by the seller’s solicitor.
By giving a buyer time to exchange contracts on the property, means normal residential finance can be arranged. The Buyer’s Premium secures the transaction and takes the property off the market.
Fees paid to the Auctioneer reserve the property to the buyer during the Reservation Period and are paid in addition to the purchase price and are considered within calculations for Stamp Duty Land Tax.
Further clarification on this must be sought from your legal representative. The buyer will be required to sign a Reservation form to confirm acceptance of terms prior to solicitors being instructed.
Copies of the Reservation form and all terms and conditions can be found in the Legal Pack which can be downloaded for free from our website or requested from our Auction Department.
Buyer Fees Upon close of a successful auction or if the vendor accepts an offer during the auction, the buyer will be required to make payment of a non-refundable Buyer’s Premium of £6,600 including VAT and a Legal Pack fee of £396 including VAT.
This secures the transaction and takes the property off the market. Stamp Duty Land Tax (sdlt) is applicable if you buy a property or land over a certain price in England, Wales or Northern Ireland.
