This two-bedroom ground floor flat in Aspull, Wigan is listed at £75,000. The property’s location offers convenience, with access to shops, Wigan town centre and the M6 motorway. Nearby schools include Holy Family Catholic Primary School and Canon Sharples Church of England Primary School, both with positive Ofsted ratings. Several train stations are within approximately 2-3.5km radius of the property providing access to Wigan and other towns via Northern Trains and Avanti West Coast services.

However, the property is in need of significant modernisation. The images reveal dated décor, wall damage in several rooms and carpets throughout requiring replacement. The kitchen and living areas are particularly in need of renovation, while the bathroom, while functional, also shows its age. The property benefits from a rear garden, which appears to need attention, with overgrown plants and areas requiring landscaping.

The listing price of £75,000 should be considered in relation to the extensive renovation required. Although several nearby properties on Marchbank street have sold for around this price, a thorough survey and cost assessment of the necessary improvements should be conducted by potential buyers to determine the overall value and potential return on investment. The absence of precise square footage data for comparison properties limits a more accurate valuation, although the flat’s relatively small size is suggested by the pictures.

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