This three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Rainhill, Merseyside, presents a mixed bag for potential buyers. Located on King Edward Road, the property benefits from its proximity to Rainhill train station and several well-regarded schools like Longton Lane Community Primary School and Oakdene Primary School, both rated as ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted. This makes Rainhill an attractive location for families.

However, the property itself requires significant modernisation. The interior photos reveal outdated fittings, worn carpets, and some evidence of damp or wall damage, particularly noticeable in the kitchen and living areas. The kitchen and bathroom are especially dated and in need of complete refurbishment. The garden, while present, is of modest size and appears to need attention. The property’s condition would need considerable investment before it would be considered move-in ready.

While the asking price of £170,000 appears to align somewhat with the average house prices on King Edward Road, the extensive refurbishment costs must be factored into any potential purchase. Buyers should obtain a detailed survey to assess the full extent of the renovation work needed, and factor this into their budget before making an offer. Overall, this property offers a potential opportunity for someone with renovation experience or the resources to undertake a substantial refurbishment. Without such resources, it presents a higher-risk investment.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
