Description

*** This land is for sale by the Modern Method of Auction, meaning the buyer and seller are to Complete within 56 days (the "Reservation Period"). Interested parties personal data will be shared with the Auctioneer (iamsold).

If considering buying with a mortgage, inspect and consider the property carefully with your lender before bidding.

The buyer signs a Reservation Agreement and makes payment of a non-refundable Reservation Fee of 4.50% of the purchase price including VAT, subject to a minimum of £6,600.00 including VAT. This is paid to reserve the property to the buyer during the Reservation Period and is paid in addition to the purchase price. This is considered within calculations for Stamp Duty Land Tax.

An excellent opportunity to acquire a parcel of land situated to the side of 307 Manchester Road in Haslingden. The site previously benefited from planning permission for the construction of four townhouses, which has now lapsed, offering purchasers the potential to reapply or explore alternative development options (subject to the necessary consents).

Positioned in a convenient and well-established residential area, the site provides easy access to local amenities, schools, and transport links, including the nearby M66 and M65 motorway networks—making it an attractive prospect for developers and investors alike.

The plot offers strong potential for a small residential scheme, and with demand for quality housing in the area remaining steady, this represents a promising investment opportunity.

Interested parties are advised to make their own enquiries with the local planning authority regarding future development potential.
