The list price of £79,950 seems relatively reasonable compared to some of the other properties listed on St Marks Road, particularly considering its location near amenities and transport. The lack of plot size and the need for modernisation should be weighed against its location advantages. The average price for similar properties in the surrounding area offers some justification for the asking price.

The property shows signs of needing some updating and modernisation. While the kitchen appears functional, the images reveal that the property is cluttered and requires a deep clean. The overall state of repair isn’t apparent from the limited images, but it’s clear that some level of refurbishment would improve the property significantly. The bathroom in particular seems dated and might require attention.

The property benefits from its proximity to Sunderland city centre, the University of Sunderland, and Sunderland Royal Hospital. Good transport links via Northern Trains are also within reasonable distance. The presence of several well-regarded schools nearby (St Anthony’s Girls’ Catholic Academy and Richard Avenue Primary School, both rated ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’) further enhances its appeal to families. However, the immediate street environment and surrounding area might not be considered top-tier in terms of overall desirability, hence a score of 7 rather than a higher one.

The property appears to have minimal or no garden space based on the provided information and images. This is a significant drawback for many buyers, hence the low score.
