The listed price of £94,950 for a one-bedroom apartment in a retirement village requires further context regarding square footage to accurately evaluate value for money. However, considering comparable properties in the area which are listed between £120,000 and £135,000, this property represents a potentially lower price point. This is especially true given it’s a shared ownership property. The lower price may be linked to the condition of the property or the specific shared ownership scheme.

The provided photographs reveal a property that is functional but requires some updating. The bathroom appears relatively clean and well-maintained, but other areas, such as the living room and bedrooms, show wear and tear on the carpets. The kitchen appears to be in a reasonable condition. Overall, while habitable, the property is not in pristine condition and could benefit from some refurbishment or modernization.

Reeve Court is located within the Thatto Heath area of St Helens, Merseyside. The proximity to Thatto Heath train station (1.03km) provides convenient access to public transport. Several primary schools are within a reasonable distance, including Longton Lane Community Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) and Thatto Heath Community Primary School (also rated ‘Good’). While the immediate vicinity details are limited, the presence of nearby amenities and transport links justifies the score.

As an apartment within a retirement village, the property offers minimal outdoor space. Therefore, the score reflects the lack of land associated with this type of property.
