A four-bedroom end-terrace arranged over three floors, this 958 sq ft property offers clear refurbishment upside and rental potential. It comes with off-street parking, an enclosed rear garden and is sold vacant at online auction with a low guide price of £40,000 — attractive for an investor or developer prepared to modernise.
The house was built in the 1930s–1940s, has older double glazing and a mains gas boiler with radiators. The current accommodation includes a ground-floor shower room, living room and breakfast kitchen, with four bedrooms on the upper floors. The property requires updating throughout and will need investment to bring the EPC up from G.
Located in Leigh (WN7), the property sits in an area of high rental demand and very low crime; comparable local rents are cited at about £950 pcm. However, the wider neighbourhood is classified as very deprived with challenged local communities — this affects resale profiles and should be weighed against projected rental yields.
Practical points for buyers: the sale is by online auction (register to bid), vacant possession will be given, and an administration fee of £3,600 (inc. VAT) is payable on exchange. Services and fixtures have not been tested; purchasers should check the legal pack and commission surveys before bidding.
