Description

Offered at auction, this three-bedroom semi-detached bungalow is set in an established residential area of Shaw, around four miles north of Oldham and Rochdale. The ground floor is arranged with an entrance hall, kitchen/dining room, living room, three bedrooms and a bathroom. The property has UPVC double glazing and central heating, and also includes a driveway, garage and gardens. The accommodation requires updating throughout, and the auctioneers report that structural repairs are needed. A schedule of works and quotation of approximately £12,000 are said to be included in the legal pack. The sale is by live-streamed unconditional auction, with contracts exchanged at the point of sale. Buyers should review the legal pack and bidder terms, including the deposit, buyer’s fee and any additional special-condition costs, before bidding. The property is freehold and has an EPC rating of D.

51out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

At £195,000, this three-bedroom bungalow has a light-refresh canvas, with dated finishes in the living area, bedrooms and kitchen, while the bathroom already looks relatively current. The established garden, driveway and garage add useful appeal, and the visible updates are mainly cosmetic. However, the listing also states that structural repair is required, so the repair schedule in the legal pack and the visible ceiling line and localised wall damage deserve careful inspection.

The floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. This is a weaker overall opportunity on the available numbers, with value and resale economics still unverified. It is being sold by auction at a guide price; bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated living-room, bedroom and kitchen finishes without needing to overhaul the relatively current-looking bathroom.
  • Make use of the established garden, with scope to tidy weathered or leaning fence panels.
  • Driveway and garage provide practical features for a future owner.

Key risks

  • The listing states structural repair is required; review the repair schedule and quotation in the legal pack and investigate the visible ceiling line and localised wall damage.
  • Missing floor area prevents a local £/sqf comparison, leaving value and resale economics unverified.
