The property is located in Blackpool, Lancashire, a coastal town in the North West of England. The area has a mix of housing, with nearby properties ranging significantly in price. While the average house price in the area is £104,432, there are both more and less expensive properties nearby, suggesting some price variation within the immediate vicinity. The proximity to Blackpool South train station (0.34 KM) provides convenient access to public transportation. Several schools are also within a reasonable distance, including Blackpool Gateway Academy (0.35 KM) and St Cuthbert’s Catholic Academy (0.43 KM), offering families nearby educational options. However, the Ofsted ratings of these schools vary, with one requiring improvement and the other rated as good. More information on the quality of local amenities and the overall desirability of the location would be needed for a complete assessment.

The property itself appears to be a terraced house. Based on the provided images, the property is in need of significant renovation. The kitchen shows clear signs of damage and requires updating, and some areas of the ceiling appear to have water damage. The garden is small but present, suggesting some outdoor space. However, it also appears to be somewhat neglected.

Given the condition of the property, the need for extensive renovations, and the relatively small size of the garden, the asking price of £90,000 requires careful consideration. While the average house price in the area is slightly higher, the significant repairs needed to bring this property up to a habitable standard must be factored into the valuation. Without knowing the square footage of the property, a precise price per square foot comparison cannot be made. However, considering the average price per square foot in the area (£119.00), and the extensive work required, the list price may be considered reasonable, but only if the buyer is prepared to invest heavily in renovations. A detailed survey is recommended to accurately assess the extent of the necessary repairs and their associated costs.

Therefore, we give this property 4 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
