Confidence: LOW

This two-bedroom terraced house in central Wigan presents a substantial renovation opportunity for buyers looking to create a home tailored to their specifications. The property features a practical layout with two separate reception rooms, a kitchen, and a paved rear yard, offering flexibility in how the space can be utilized.

While the interiors show general wear and tear, with dated decor and worn flooring, this provides a blank canvas for renovation. The kitchen, in particular, is ready for a complete overhaul, allowing a new owner to inject modern fittings and their personal style. The location is a strong selling point, with convenient access to amenities and transport links, making it an attractive option for families and commuters alike. At an asking price of £90,000, this property is competitively positioned compared to the local average, which adds to its appeal as a project, although the eventual price may rise above this guide during negotiations.

Key opportunities

  • Transform the dated kitchen with modern fittings and a fresh design.
  • Utilize the flexible layout of two reception rooms for various living arrangements.
  • Enhance the outdoor space for a low-maintenance garden area.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a substantial renovation budget will be required, making this a full-gut programme, not a simple refresh.
