Description

Offered at auction, this three-bedroom end-terraced house is being sold with vacant possession and no onward chain. The accommodation is arranged over two floors and includes an entrance hall, lounge, dining kitchen and conservatory, with three bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate WC upstairs. The listing describes the property as requiring modernisation and says it will be sold as seen, with the purchaser responsible for clearing it. Outside, the front has a lawn and path to the entrance. The enclosed rear garden is described as mainly lawn, with mature borders, a patio and gated side access. Shaw's shops, schools and everyday amenities are nearby, as are local transport links including Shaw and Crompton Metrolink stop. The sale is through the Modern Method of Auction, with a 56-day reservation period and a non-refundable buyer reservation fee in addition to the purchase price. Buyers should review the buyer information pack and check the fee and sale terms before bidding. Any alterations or development would require the relevant consents.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

56out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

At £120,000, this three-bedroom end terrace is priced at about £158 per sq ft against a local average of £257, making the asking price a clear acquisition opportunity. The grade D reflects the limited evidence on renovation economics, rather than a lack of value in the asking price; the overall score is therefore a weaker opportunity despite the attractive price comparison.

There is scope to refresh the dated bathroom and reclaim the overgrown, cluttered rear garden, which offers outdoor space once cleared. The listing describes a broader modernisation project, but the submitted photos show only a small part of the interior, so the work needed elsewhere should be checked at a viewing. The convenient Shaw setting and three-bedroom layout add to the project’s appeal.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire at £120,000, around 38.5% below the local average asking price per square foot.
  • Clear and maintain the sizeable rear garden to make better use of its lawn, patio and outdoor space.
  • Update the dated bathroom and tailor the home to suit an owner-occupier or rental market.
