The property is a 1-bedroom apartment located in Lowton East, Wigan, Greater Manchester. The apartment is part of a larger complex, as evidenced by the external and communal area photographs.

The apartment itself appears to be in good condition. The kitchen and bathroom are modern and well-maintained. The living areas show some signs of age, with dated carpeting and wallpaper, but are clean and presentable. There is a communal garden area, which is well-maintained and provides a pleasant outdoor space for residents.

The location is positive, with several good primary schools within a short distance. The proximity to several train stations offers convenient access to other areas. However, the surrounding area appears to be primarily residential, so access to shops and other amenities may require a short commute.

Considering the average price per square foot in the area is £126 and the property is listed at £85,000, the price seems reasonable, especially given its size (509 sqft) and the current market conditions. The nearby comparable properties support this assessment, with similar sized apartments selling for between £72,000 and £115,000. The lack of plot size doesn’t detract significantly from the value given the apartment’s location and amenities.

Based on the provided information, the property presents a good value proposition for a first-time buyer or investor looking for a well-located, reasonably priced apartment in a desirable area.

Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
