The listing price of £40,000 appears exceptionally low, considering even the lower-priced properties listed nearby on Harlech Avenue are considerably higher. The extremely poor condition means extensive renovation costs will be added to the purchase price, reducing its overall value. A realistic price would likely reflect these necessary expenditures and the average house prices in the surrounding area, which are much higher. Therefore, it seems to be a relatively low price but the cost of work will affect the perceived value.

The provided photographs clearly show the property is in extremely poor condition. Significant renovation and repair work are needed throughout. Walls require replastering, flooring needs replacing, and all rooms are in disrepair. The kitchen and bathroom appear outdated and require complete refurbishment. The property is essentially a shell that requires considerable investment before it’s habitable.

The property is situated in Blackpool, a coastal town in Lancashire. While Blackpool itself has a mixed reputation, the proximity to several good primary schools (Waterloo Primary Academy, St Cuthbert’s Catholic Academy, and Revoe Learning Academy, all rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) and its relatively close distance to several train stations (Blackpool South being the nearest) makes it a reasonably convenient location for families, commuters, and tourists alike. The presence of nearby shops and amenities would further enhance its score, but this information is not provided. However, the average house prices on surrounding streets give an indication that the location holds some value.

While there is no information on the exact plot size, the exterior photos suggest a standard sized plot for a house of this type. Given the lack of specific information, I’ve rated the land a 5. More detail on garden size would be needed for a more accurate assessment.
