Buying A House In Wigan
Situated between the two larger cities of Liverpool and Manchester, Wigan has a uniquely advantageous position, which has led to the town becoming a hotspot for new businesses and property developments.
There has been a lot of investment into the town centre in recent years that have influenced the property market, such as the opening of The Grand Arcade shopping centre and the reconstruction of the area surrounding the Wigan Pier. The 10-year rebranding project will see the opening of a hotel, restaurant, cafés, shops and a number of apartments.
The transport links to Wigan make this the perfect home for the professional commuter, with access to the West Coast mainline train route, making both London and Glasgow only 2 hours away. Two of the North’s main Airports, Manchester and Liverpool are within a 35-minute drive from the town. And plans are currently underway, for continued transport improvements over the next 3 years, with the planned construction of the Leigh-Salford-Manchester Busway, and further Manchester and Liverpool railway line developments.

How much does conveyancing cost in Wigan?
The cost of each property transaction varies, as no two properties are identical and our fees adapt to meet the unique needs of your sale or purchase. For instance, handling a listed building might entail higher costs due to its added complexities compared to a new freehold property. Consequently, we cannot provide a precise estimate until we obtain information about your specific transaction. However, our conveyancing fees begin at £285 plus VAT.
