This four-bedroom, three-storey town house in Skelmersdale, Lancashire, is currently listed for £140,000. The property is located on Berry Close, a residential area with a relatively quiet setting and is close to schools and train stations. However, the property requires significant refurbishment. The interior photographs reveal that all rooms need renovation. The floors are in disrepair, walls need repainting or redecorating, and some areas require cleaning. The kitchen is dated and functional, but would benefit from an upgrade. The bathrooms appear to be in a similar state of disrepair as the remainder of the property. The garden is small and looks overgrown, needing considerable work. In summary, while the location is adequate and the price seems comparable to other properties in the locality, the extensive renovation needed is a major factor to take into consideration. Potential buyers should budget for considerable costs and factor in the considerable amount of work to be completed before the property can be enjoyed. A survey is highly advised before purchase.

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