Description

A Victorian freehold terrace in central Chorlton, currently arranged as three self-contained apartments, each described as having two double bedrooms. The apartments are being sold as seen with their furniture and fitted furniture, and the property is offered with no vendor chain. The listing also identifies the possibility of separating the building into three leases, subject to the necessary consents and requirements. The property is close to the shops, cafés, bars and restaurants on Wilbraham Road and Barlow Moor Road. The Metrolink station is stated to be a one-minute walk away, with a Morrisons nearby. Apartment 2 has an enclosed private rear garden, while the front has a low brick boundary wall, railings and a mature hedge. Offered for sale by the Modern Method of Auction, the sale uses a 56-day reservation period. Buyers should review the buyer information pack and account for the non-refundable reservation fee, which is stated as 4.5% of the purchase price including VAT, subject to a minimum of £6,600 including VAT. The property is presented as an opportunity to assess a multi-unit residential arrangement and its future options, with any lease separation or other changes subject to the relevant requirements.

WHOTS analysis

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

57out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This Victorian freehold in central Chorlton stands out for its existing three self-contained two-bedroom apartments, a maintained enclosed garden and a location close to the Metrolink, shops and cafés. The interiors look generally clean and usable, with scope for selective cosmetic updates where finishes vary; the listing also identifies possible separation into three leases, subject to the necessary consents and requirements.

The overall score is a weak opportunity, though the available information does not establish that the price is cheap or dear: floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. The property is being sold by modern auction at a guide price of £895,000; bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay at this level.

Key opportunities

  • Three self-contained two-bedroom apartments are already in place, offering an established multi-unit setup.
  • The enclosed rear garden, Victorian frontage and central location near the Metrolink give the property clear appeal.
  • Inconsistent finishes leave room for selective cosmetic updates; possible separate leases are subject to necessary consents and requirements.
