The list price of £400,000 seems reasonable considering the property’s size (1,148.19 sqft), location in Birkdale, and the presence of a garden. While a lack of precise square footage data for comparable properties makes a definitive price per square foot comparison difficult, the price falls within a range that reflects typical values for similar homes in the area as suggested by the nearby property prices. The need for some modernisation could potentially slightly lower the valuation. Therefore, the price receives a relatively high score, but not a perfect score due to these factors.

The property appears to be generally well-maintained but could benefit from some modernisation. The interior photos reveal some rooms with older features and decor, while others, like the kitchen, show recent improvements. The overall condition suggests a need for some updating to fully reach its potential, hence the moderate score.

Birkdale is a desirable residential area in Southport, known for its good schools and proximity to local amenities. The property’s location on Clive Road places it within walking distance of well-regarded schools like Farnborough Road Infant and Junior Schools (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted). The relatively close proximity to Hillside and Birkdale train stations also enhances its appeal. While some more expensive streets are nearby, the overall location score reflects its desirable, yet not top-tier, position within Birkdale.

The property includes a garden, which is a positive feature. However, based on the photos, the garden size appears to be relatively modest, not exceptionally large. There is also what appears to be some paving, and a shed, which is not unusual for the area. The size of the land does not stand out compared to other properties in the area; therefore, the score reflects its presence but not its abundance.
