Read around WN1. Rents are advertised rents; the sale price is the average of completed sales in the last twelve months.
Wigan lies to the west of Manchester and has some of the more affordable rents in the wider region, reflecting its distance from the city centre and its predominantly terraced housing stock built during the town's industrial past. The town centre retains its market and historic buildings, with residential streets extending into the surrounding suburbs and former mining communities.
Wigan North Western and Wigan Wallgate stations provide rail services towards Manchester, Liverpool and Preston, giving residents a choice of destinations for work rather than being tied solely to Manchester. The M6 runs close to the town, giving fast road access north and south, which supports commuters who drive to work in Manchester, Liverpool or further afield along the motorway corridor.
Wigan and Leigh College and a number of local employers provide jobs within the town itself, meaning not all residents commute into Manchester, and the tenant base includes a mix of local workers, families and some commuters. For a landlord, the town's affordability compared with Manchester, combined with good rail links, tends to support demand from tenants who want lower rents and are willing to travel further for work in the city. Wigan's rugby league heritage and its market hall remain a strong part of the town's identity, and terraced streets within walking distance of either station tend to be the properties landlords find easiest to keep let, given how many tenants here value a short journey to the trains over a longer one by road, particularly those commuting into Manchester or Liverpool for work each day. Denton and Hyde, the other towns making up the borough, add further terraced streets at similarly accessible rents, broadening the choice for a landlord investing across Tameside as a whole.

Finding your tenant
We manage, we do not let. When your property is empty we appoint one of the best letting agents in your area to find the tenant. Their fee is agreed with you in writing before anything starts, and Caso adds nothing to it. We brief the agent, approve the marketing, check every applicant's referencing, handle the move-in and protect the deposit. You deal with one company throughout.
- Agent chosen on results, not on who we know
- Fee agreed in writing before marketing starts
- Caso takes nothing from the agent
