This two-bedroom terraced house on Finsbury Street in Sunderland’s Southwick area presents a mixed bag. The property’s location is a positive attribute. Its proximity to good schools, including the outstanding Grange Park Primary School, and its accessibility to Sunderland city centre by train, make it appealing to families and commuters. The nearby Stadium of Light could also attract fans or those interested in the surrounding amenities.

However, the property’s condition is a key consideration. The provided photographs show that whilst habitable, it requires renovation or modernisation. The bathroom, in particular, needs updating and the exterior garden/yard shows visible signs of neglect. The kitchen while functional, is quite dated. The interior shows visible signs of wear and tear and the overall cleanliness is debatable. This will affect the property’s immediate value.

The property benefits from some features such as what appears to be a relatively modern kitchen installation and what seems to be a large, open-plan living space.

The lack of square footage data makes a detailed comparison with other properties difficult. However, comparing the asking price to similar properties on nearby streets (Finsbury Street and others in Southwick) shows the listing price to be at the higher end but not unreasonable. The final price will ultimately depend upon the buyer’s assessment of needed renovations and the property’s overall appeal.

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