Laffak Cottages is a three-bedroom, one-bathroom cottage located in Laffak, St Helens, Merseyside. The property is listed at £160,000 and has a plot size of 0.00 sqft. The property requires modernisation throughout. The interior features dated decor, including carpets and wallpaper, and some areas appear to be in need of repair, such as the walls and ceilings in several rooms. The kitchen and bathroom also show their age and would benefit from an update. The property does, however, benefit from having a garden. The location is in a quiet residential area. There are several primary schools within a reasonable distance, including Ashurst Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) and St Peter And St Paul Catholic Primary School (rated ‘Outstanding’). Train stations such as St Helens Central are also relatively close by. While the list price of £160,000 is in line with some other properties in the area, the significant need for modernisation should be considered. A full renovation will be required to bring the property up to a modern standard, which will add to the overall cost of ownership. The lack of readily available comparable property data in terms of price per square foot makes a definitive assessment of value difficult.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
