Sold via Modern Method of Auction — 4.5% non-refundable reservation fee

This bay-fronted, three-bedroom semi-detached home on Milton Road offers strong long-term potential in a well-connected Stretford location. The property sits on an average-sized plot with a large rear garden, detached garage and private driveway — rare practical assets close to good schools and transport links to Manchester city centre.
Internally the house requires full refurbishment. Rooms are sensibly proportioned across about 958 sq ft including a long living/dining room and an extended kitchen. Key systems include a mains gas boiler (Worcester Bosch) installed in 2013 and double glazing pre-2002; however, the property will need updating and modernisation throughout.
The sale is via the Modern Method of Auction and is offered chain-free on a long lease (907 years remaining) with a nominal ground rent of £5.50 per year. Buyers should note the auction’s reservation process: a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600 inc VAT) and a 56-day reservation period apply — review the Buyer Information Pack before bidding.
This will suit a family seeking a project to create a substantial family home, or an investor aiming to add value through refurbishment. The combination of strong local schools, very low crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal supports re-letting or resale after works. Be realistic about renovation costs and the auction fees when calculating returns.
