This one-bedroom, one-bathroom property located on Stanworth Avenue in Bolton’s Breightmet area is listed at £85,000. The property appears relatively well-maintained from the photos; however, some modernisation is evident in the kitchen and bathroom. The property offers a small garden which appears to be in need of some attention and maintenance. While not located in a premium area, Breightmet offers convenient access to local schools rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted, ensuring proximity to necessary education. Train stations are within reach, offering decent transport links. While the property is functional as is, potential buyers should account for the cost of updates to the kitchen, bathroom, and garden for the property to increase in value. The listed price, though fair compared to similar properties on the street, is higher than some others in the area due to the property being a terraced house, which are generally smaller in comparison to semi-detached or detached homes that the property is nearby. Overall, this property presents a good investment opportunity for first-time buyers or investors prepared to make some improvements. Potential buyers should perform an accurate survey to ensure the foundations of the house are solid and that there is no damp. This should ideally be done by a qualified surveyor. The buyer should seek an accurate EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) to understand running costs of the property. Furthermore, research in to local council tax bands and associated costs should be made, as well as a review of local planning permissions, to ascertain if there is any potential for future extensions.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
