PropertyDescription
This property presents a unique redevelopment opportunity situated on Rhosddu Road, conveniently located less than half a mile from Wrexham City Centre and local amenities. Previously functioning as a print works, the site encompasses approximately 480 square metres (about 0.12 acres) and has prior planning permission for the construction of six residential apartments. Although this permission has lapsed, feedback from the Planning Authority indicates that there is potential support for a new scheme. The proposed layout suggests each apartment would feature two bedrooms, a bathroom, and an open-plan kitchen/living area across three levels. Currently, the site is fenced off due to structural safety concerns, emphasizing the need for careful renovation work to unlock its full potential. This property is being sold through informal tender with sealed bids required by midday on Monday 7th September 2026.

51out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This is a major redevelopment proposition rather than a conventional house renovation: a prominent former print works within half a mile of Wrexham city centre, with a rear site and scope to shape a new residential scheme. The historic six-apartment consent has expired, although the listing says the council previously indicated the concept was supportable in principle; any fresh proposal would need to be assessed on its own merits.
The £150,000 guide is exceptionally low at £29 per sq ft against a local average of £225, making the acquisition price a clear opportunity. The building is described as unstable and is visibly severely deteriorated, so this is a high-risk, full-rebuild-scale project, not a cosmetic refresh. The £/sq ft comparison is against the guide only: bidding can take the hammer price above it, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.
Key opportunities
- Reimagine the former print works as a residential project; the listing’s historic six-apartment scheme offers a starting point, though its consent has expired.
- Make use of the approximately 480 sq m site, prominent Rhosddu Road frontage and rear outdoor land to shape a considered redevelopment.
- Acquire at a guide of £150,000, or about £29 per sq ft versus the local £225 average, subject to the final tender outcome.
Key risks
- The building is stated to be unstable, with boarded openings and severely deteriorated or missing external finishes; it should not be entered without appropriate safety precautions.
- A heavily deteriorated structure and extensive site clearance point to a full rebuild-scale programme, requiring substantial time, specialist input and budget rather than a cosmetic refresh.
