Wigan is one of Greater Manchester's largest towns, with a property market that offers genuine value compared to many surrounding areas. The town has undergone significant regeneration in recent years, with a strong mix of established residential neighbourhoods and newer developments attracting both first time buyers and families looking to upsize. Popular areas include Standish, Orrell and Shevington to the north, which offer larger family homes and a more semi-rural feel, while the town centre and Ince provide more affordable options.
Average house prices in Wigan sit around £185,000, making it one of the more accessible markets in Greater Manchester. The town's excellent transport links — including direct rail services to Manchester, Liverpool and beyond, as well as the M6 and M58 — make it a practical base for commuters. Our advisers search the whole market across more than 90 lenders to find the right mortgage for your situation.
Wigan offers some of the most affordable entry-level properties in Greater Manchester, making it an excellent starting point for first time buyers. We guide you through every stage of the process — from your initial affordability check and agreement in principle through to collecting your keys — clearly and without jargon.
Whether you are upsizing within Wigan, moving to one of the larger properties in Standish or Shevington, or relocating to the area, we manage both sides of the process. We review your existing mortgage and search the whole market for the best available new deal.
If your fixed rate is coming to an end, we can search more than 90 lenders to find the best available remortgage deal for your circumstances. Many Wigan homeowners are paying more than they need to on their lender's standard variable rate — we make switching straightforward.
Wigan's strong rental demand, affordable property prices, and excellent transport connections make it an attractive market for buy to let investors. We provide whole-of-market advice for both new and experienced landlords, with access to specialist lenders not available directly to the public.
Many homeowners across Wigan and the surrounding area have built up significant equity in their properties over the years. If you are aged 55 or over and are considering accessing some of that value — to supplement your retirement income, help family members, or fund improvements to your home — equity release may be worth exploring.
As a proud member of the Equity Release Council, Aspect Mortgages adheres to the highest standards of later life lending. Every lifetime mortgage we recommend includes the no negative equity guarantee and the right to remain in your home for life.
A loan secured against your home that does not need to be repaid until the property is sold — usually when you pass away or move into long term care. You keep full ownership of your home and the right to remain in it for life.
A mortgage where you pay the interest each month and the loan is repaid when the property is eventually sold. This can suit Wigan homeowners who want to release equity while keeping their monthly outgoings manageable in retirement.
If your current mortgage is coming to an end and you are approaching or in retirement, we can review your options and search the market for the most suitable product — whether that is a standard remortgage, a retirement interest only mortgage, or a lifetime mortgage.
Already have an equity release plan in place? We can assess your existing arrangement and advise whether switching, updating, or retaining your current plan is the right course of action for your circumstances.
