The property is a 3-bedroom semi-detached house located on James Road in Haydock, St Helens, Merseyside. It has a plot size of 795 sqft and is listed at £180,000.

The location is reasonably good, with several primary schools within a kilometre radius, including Haydock English Martyrs’ Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) and Grange Valley Primary School (rated ‘Outstanding’). Train stations such as Garswood are also relatively close by. However, the average house price in the area is significantly higher (£614,521), suggesting this property might be in a less desirable part of Haydock.

Based on the photos, the property appears to be in good condition, recently renovated or modernised. The kitchen and living areas are presented as newly fitted. There is no visible evidence of significant damage or disrepair. The garden is small but appears usable and manageable.

Considering the average price per sqft in the area is £481, and this property is 691 sqft, a fair market value might be in the region of £332,000. The list price of £180,000 is substantially lower than this estimate. However, this discrepancy needs to be considered in light of the lower average prices of nearby properties, some of which are significantly cheaper. Therefore, while the price seems low compared to the average price per sqft, it’s more in line with the prices of nearby comparable properties. Further investigation into the reasons for the price difference between this property and the area average would be beneficial.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
