This two-bedroom terraced house located on Billinge Road in Wigan, WN5 9JE, presents a mixed bag for prospective buyers. The property’s location offers several advantages, with relatively easy access to primary schools (Highfield St Matthew’s Church of England Primary School at 0.84 km is the nearest) and train stations (Pemberton at 0.69km is the closest). However, the nearby streets show considerable variation in property values, suggesting an area with a diverse range of properties and price points. A potential buyer would need to carefully consider this price variance and the factors contributing to it when deciding if this location is suitable for their needs.

In terms of condition, the property appears habitable but requires significant renovation and modernization. The interior photographs reveal dated finishes including flooring, kitchen units and bathroom fixtures. While the structure appears sound, a prospective buyer should budget for extensive interior upgrades. The kitchen and bathroom, though functional, require updates to appeal to modern tastes and increase the property value.

The outdoor space is modest; it comprises a small rear yard and a small front garden. This may not be sufficient for buyers seeking ample space for outdoor living or entertaining.

Finally, the asking price of £130,000 is broadly comparable to other properties in the immediate vicinity. However, the variation in nearby property prices needs careful assessment. Several properties are considerably cheaper, while others are more expensive. The need for substantial modernisation weighs on the property’s value relative to the price, requiring prospective buyers to weigh the potential costs of renovation against the asking price to determine if it presents a good investment.

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