Approx. 1,445 sqm freehold plot to side of 711 Wigan Road
A substantial freehold plot of approximately 1,445 sqm on Wigan Road, offered as a blank canvas for development or investment. The site sits in an affluent suburban pocket close to local shops, primary schools and good road links to the M61/A580 — attractive for residential schemes or private redevelopment subject to planning.
The land is offered without planning permission and the title is currently being split, so any development will be conditional on securing the necessary consents and completing title formalities. There is no recorded flood risk; the plot includes a large yard/green space with scope for landscaping, subdivision, or new build depending on planning outcomes.
This lot will be sold by the Modern Method of Auction with a starting price of £225,000. Buyers should note the auction process requirements: a Buyer Information Pack fee, mandatory ID and proof-of-funds checks, and a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, subject to a minimum). These transactional costs and the absence of planning are the main practical considerations for purchasers.
For developers or investors looking for a sizeable parcel in a well-connected, affluent area, the site offers clear potential — but expect a period of pre-application work, statutory searches and costs before build can commence. Shortlisted buyers should factor the auction reservation terms and due diligence costs into any budget.
