Is subsidence a risk in Wigan?

Yes — Wigan's former coal-mining heritage means that ground subsidence can be a concern in some parts of the borough. A RICS Level 3 Building Survey from Home-MOT will include a thorough assessment of the structure for any signs of movement, and we will advise on whether further specialist investigation is warranted.

What survey do I need for a Victorian terrace in Wigan?

For a Victorian terrace, we recommend a RICS Level 3 Building Survey. This provides the most comprehensive assessment of the property's condition, including the roof structure, walls, floors, and drainage — all areas where older properties commonly present defects.

How quickly can you carry out a survey in Wigan?

We aim to carry out surveys within 5–7 working days of instruction, and deliver the written report within 48 hours of the inspection. Contact us to check current availability.

Property market insight: Wigan

Wigan's property market offers good value compared to neighbouring Greater Manchester towns, with a wide range of housing types from affordable terraces to larger detached homes in sought-after villages such as Standish and Appley Bridge. The borough's former coal-mining heritage means that ground stability can be a concern in some areas, and buyers of older properties should ensure a thorough structural survey is carried out. New-build activity has been strong in recent years, particularly on the outskirts of the town, and Wigan's excellent transport links to Manchester and Liverpool make it an increasingly popular choice for commuters.
