Description

This terraced house on Gordon Street in Leigh presents a promising investment opportunity for those looking to refurbish and increase their rental portfolio. While the property requires significant refurbishment, it boasts excellent potential for a 'flip' or rental enhancement. The layout includes an entrance hallway leading to a sitting room, a separate dining room, and a kitchen on the ground floor. Upstairs, you'll find two spacious bedrooms and a bathroom. The enclosed rear garden offers low maintenance, making it an appealing feature for future tenants or buyers. With a competitive asking price and no onward chain, early viewing is strongly recommended.

Confidence: MEDIUM

This two-bedroom terraced house on Gordon Street offers a compelling entry point for investors, especially with its asking price of £80,000, which stands at £98/sqf — significantly lower than the local average of £209/sqf. This price point presents an exceptional opportunity for those looking to acquire a property in need of refurbishment and potentially flip it or enhance their rental portfolio.

However, be prepared for a heavy project scale as the interior shows visible damage and neglect throughout. The living areas, bedrooms, kitchen, and bathroom all require extensive work, with peeling walls and significant damage noted in key spaces. All-in costs, including the purchase price and renovation budget of £100,000, may feel tight against local benchmarks, as the implied current local average value is approximately £171,207, leaving a slim margin for profit. Despite this, the property’s good location and potential for value creation remain strong selling points.

Key opportunities

  • The low maintenance garden provides a canvas for landscaping, adding curb appeal and outdoor enjoyment.
  • A full refurbishment allows for a reconfiguration of space to better suit modern living standards.
  • The competitive asking price presents an ideal opportunity for 'flipping' after renovation.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £80,000–£120,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
