This vacant two-bedroom end-terrace is being offered at auction and presents a straightforward buy-to-let opportunity in Leigh. The property is currently empty, has a long lease (996 years), and sits close to local shops and regular bus routes — useful for tenant demand. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal add to its rental appeal.
The house will need some updating: rooms are generally small, interior requires modernisation, and heating is electric with a boiler and radiators. The exterior displays period-style features while records state a 2023 construction date — buyers should confirm build details in the legal pack. There is a rear yard rather than a garden.
Important sale points are practical: the lot is leasehold, will be sold at auction, and attracts an administration fee of 2.5% including VAT (minimum £2,500). The local area ranks as very deprived with hampered aspiration indicators; that can support rental yields but may affect long-term capital growth. Check the legal pack for title GM938784, disbursements, and any extra charges before bidding.
For investors wanting a low-entry purchase, this house offers immediate occupancy potential after refurbishment and easy transport links. Be aware of condition, service costs, and auction commitments — buying at auction is legally binding on successful bidders, so allow for deposit and fees on exchange.
