Description

FOR SALE BY AUCTION ON 9TH DECEMBER 2026 (UNLESS SOLD PRIOR UNDER AUCTION CONDITIONS). This substantial investment lot is situated in a popular and convenient location being within close walking distance of Heaton Park Metro Station and also close to the local shops with Heaton Park itself just across the road.

The property comprises 6 flats of which 4 are 2 bedroomed and 2 are 1 bedroomed. Several of the flats are substantial in size, particularly Flat 3, 239A Bury Old Road which is also beautifully presented and most flats benefit from external terraces or garden area. It would be fair to say that some of the flats would benefit from modernisation in due course and currently 241A is vacant and requires complete modernisation.

The flats in the main are warmed by individual gas fired central heating systems with UPVC double glazed windows

The commercial units comprise a large industrial unit accessed directly from Bury Old Road and is some 166 square meters (as per the EPC calculation) with large roller shutter door. There is a further warehouse/offices which the agents have not inspected and this measures 115 square meters (as per the EPC calculation). This is access via a roller shutter door from the rear of the property.

Note Regarding Photographs - The photographs included within these particulars show a selection of the flats and are intended to provide an indication of the nature and layout of the property. They are not representative of all flats or the commercial units, and buyers should note that, as detailed above, certain areas of the building require modernisation.

Prospective buyers are strongly advised to inspect the property and satisfy themselves as to its condition prior to bidding.

Disclosures - Flat 239A Bury Old Road - Electrical Installation Report.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) was undertaken at the property in January 2026 and the installation was assessed as **unsatisfactory**. The report identifies remedial works and/or further investigation that are required. A copy of the report is included in the auction legal pack.

The personal representatives of the deceased estate have agreed to the necessary works. However, despite several attempts to arrange access with the existing tenant, access has not been provided and the works remain outstanding.

Accordingly, the required remedial works have not been completed and no subsequent certification confirming completion and compliance is available.

Prospective purchasers must review the EICR in full and satisfy themselves as to the nature, extent and cost of the outstanding works, the electrical safety position and the arrangements required to obtain access to the property. The property is sold subject to the existing tenancy, and any purchaser will need to address the outstanding works and the associated landlord obligations following completion.

Prospective purchasers are strongly advised to obtain appropriate professional and legal advice before bidding.

239B Bury Old Road (Office/Warehouse) - Tenancy
The property is currently occupied by a tenant who is understood to be in arrears with rent. The landlord has been seeking payment of the outstanding arrears.

Notice has been served requiring the tenant to vacate the property; however, as at the date of these particulars, the tenant remains in occupation.

Prospective purchasers are advised to make their own enquiries regarding the tenancy, the amount of rent outstanding, the status and validity of the notice served, and the steps being taken by the landlord in relation to the arrears and recovery of possession.

Purchasers should not assume that vacant possession will be available on completion unless expressly confirmed in the auction contract and special conditions.
