A compact single-storey office in Bolton offered at auction with immediate vacant possession and a long lease (990 years from 1900). At about 647 sq ft, the brick-built mid-terrace presents a straightforward investment or development opportunity in a major conurbation setting with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
The building is currently configured as an office and has potential for residential conversion subject to obtaining planning consent. Practical positives include double glazing, mains gas central heating, nominal ground rent and a very long lease. Local crime is very low, and nearby schools and basic amenities are within easy reach.
Buyers should note clear drawbacks: the area is classified as deprived and the property shows industrial/commercial features — barred windows and security shutters — which will need addressing for residential use. The building likely has cavity walls with no insulation (as built) and the EPC rating is E. Ongoing costs include business rates (approx. £5,700) and purchaser fees associated with auction sales.
This lot is sold at auction; successful bidders must pay deposit and fees on exchange and comply with anti‑money laundering checks. There is visible conversion upside for a hands-on investor or developer prepared to obtain planning permission and carry out refurbishment works.
