ApartmentDescription
This two-bedroom first-floor flat is positioned above commercial premises on Norley Hall Avenue in Wigan and is offered at auction as a refurbishment project. The accommodation requires renovation, giving a purchaser scope to modernise it for future occupation or rental, subject to the relevant checks and costs.
Norley Hall has local shops, schools and everyday amenities nearby. Wigan town centre offers a wider range of retail, leisure and employment facilities, with road links towards the M6 and the wider North West.
The flat is leasehold with vacant possession. The stated lease began on 25 March 1985 for 125 years, with 83 years remaining. Ground rent and service charge details are available in the legal pack. Buyers should review the legal documents and auction terms, including the additional buyer charge and completion requirements, before bidding.

Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This two-bedroom flat above commercial premises is a substantial renovation project, with scope to replace or repair the damaged kitchen and bathroom finishes, renew flooring and redecorate the photographed interiors. The visible frontage and roof appear broadly intact, while the condition of the interior gives a buyer room to reshape and modernise the accommodation for the local rental market. The guide price is £20,000, but floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. Bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.
The score is low overall, with the project’s appeal tempered by the scale of the works and the lack of floor-area data to assess value or residual potential. The stated renovation range is £30,000–£55,000; lease terms and charges also warrant checking in the legal pack.
Key opportunities
- Rework the worn living and bedroom finishes, flooring and decoration to give the flat a coherent modern interior.
- The damaged, incomplete kitchen and bathroom finishes offer scope to create more functional, lettable spaces.
- The two-bedroom layout above commercial premises could be updated for affordable local rental demand.
Key risks
- Damaged kitchen and bathroom finishes, marked floors and discolouration across several photographed rooms make this a substantial programme; the £30,000–£55,000 works range calls for careful budgeting and scheduling.
- The 83 years remaining on the lease and ground rent and service charge terms need review in the legal pack.
