Description

Offered at auction on 9 December 2026, unless sold earlier under auction conditions, this freehold investment property comprises six flats and two commercial units on Bury Old Road, close to Heaton Park Metrolink station, local shops and Heaton Park. The flats include four two-bedroom units and two one-bedroom units. Several have terraces or garden areas. The listing describes Flat 3 as particularly well presented, while some of the other flats would benefit from modernisation. Flat 241A is vacant and requires complete modernisation. The flats are stated to have individual gas central heating systems and uPVC double glazing. The commercial accommodation consists of a vacant industrial unit of approximately 166 square metres, with a roller shutter door onto Bury Old Road, and a further office and warehouse unit of approximately 115 square metres, accessed from the rear. The latter is subject to a commercial FRI lease due to expire on 31 January 2029; the agents have not inspected it. The stated passing rent is £53,400 per annum, with one flat and the larger commercial unit vacant. The listing says income would increase if these spaces were let, but does not provide a revised rent figure. The property is being sold through an auction process, with a 2% plus VAT buyer's premium and a stated completion date of 15 January 2027, or earlier by agreement. The listing advises that services and fixtures have not been tested and recommends independent checks. It also discloses an unsatisfactory January 2026 EICR for 239A Bury Old Road, with remedial work or further investigation identified in the legal pack. Buyers should review the full legal pack, tenancy details, condition information and auction terms before bidding.

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

33out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This is a substantial mixed-use project with six flats, two commercial spaces and a maintained terrace, close to Heaton Park Metro and the park itself. Several photographed flats look clean and usable, while the vacant flat offers a clear modernisation project; the commercial unit’s worn, stained floor and exposed brickwork also need investigation. The asking price of £750,000 is about £420 per sq ft against a local average of £309, so it is expensive on that measure. With a medium-scale works programme on top, the purchase and improvement costs look stretched against local benchmarks for this floor area; that comparison is with current local values, not a forecast of post-works value.

Key opportunities

  • Modernise the vacant flat and refresh selected units to improve their presentation.
  • Explore the letting potential of the vacant flat and commercial unit alongside the existing tenancies.
  • The maintained terrace, proximity to Heaton Park and nearby Metro station give the property useful location and amenity appeal.

Key risks

  • The commercial unit has staining and damp-looking patches on the floor; the cause and any treatment required need investigation.
  • The listing reports an unsatisfactory EICR for 239A, so the electrical findings and any remedial work need checking.
  • The asking price is already high against local £/sq ft benchmarks, and adding a medium-scale programme of improvements leaves the overall investment stretched against local values for this floor area.
