5 bed social housing HMO project

Project:

A 3-bedroom terraced property ideally suited for conversion into a 5 bedroom house of multiple occupancy (HMO) and leased to a Registered Provider on a long-term commercial lease.

The Registered Provider (RP) has expressed interest in this property, and it has passed their checks. The RP have offered a 5 year lease on this unit, following renovation and having onboarded the property.

Located close to the centre of town, with an abundance of local amenities and facilities, a short distance to the train station and motorway networks providing access to Manchester, Liverpool and beyond, Wigan is well located.

The property is perfectly positioned for access into the town, is in close proximity to many local, national and global employers, and benefits from a variety of local recreation spots including local golf courses, parks and forests.

    – Complete all necessary plastering work throughout the property.

  • Painting:
    – Paint interior walls in modern colours.
