This two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment in Westminster Court, Bidston Road, Oxton, Wirral, is currently listed at £115,000. The property is located in a generally desirable area with good access to local amenities, including shops, restaurants, places of worship, and reputable schools (Birkenhead High School Academy, Birkenhead Sixth Form College, and Townfield Primary School are all within a reasonable distance). Public transportation options are also relatively close, including several Merseyrail stations.

However, the photographs reveal a property that is in need of significant modernisation. The kitchen and bathrooms appear dated and would likely require complete renovations. The flooring and wall coverings also appear worn. The absence of any appreciable private outdoor space (land) is a notable drawback for many buyers.

Considering comparable properties in the area that are in better condition and/or have more land, this flat might be seen as appropriately priced, but potential buyers should factor in substantial renovation costs into their budget. This makes the cost of entry more significant than the initial list price suggests. The desirability of the location is somewhat offset by the significant work the property needs, making it a renovation project rather than a move-in ready option. The lack of square footage information in many of the comparable listings makes detailed price-per-square-foot analysis unreliable.

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