This two-bedroom terraced property located at 120 Berrys Lane, St Helens, WA9 3QT, presents a unique opportunity for investors or buyers looking for a renovation project. The property is listed at £30,000, which is considerably lower than other properties in the area, especially those on Berrys Lane itself. Nearby properties of similar type range from £44,000 to over £100,000. The low price is likely attributable to the property’s current condition. The exterior shows a fairly typical terraced house but the interior photographs reveal substantial damage and deterioration throughout. Walls, ceilings, floors, and bathrooms require extensive repairs or complete replacement. The kitchen also demands complete renovation. The small rear yard needs significant work to make it useable. The location, however, offers several advantages. It’s within walking distance of several well-regarded schools, offering good access to education for families. Train stations providing links to major cities are within reasonable distance. This property is therefore a high-risk, high-reward proposition. Significant investment will be needed to bring it up to a habitable standard, but the potential profit margin is also high, given the low purchase price and the area’s property values. The current state of the property heavily influences the overall assessment; buyers must have the funds and the expertise to manage a full renovation, and accurately assess all potential problems and costs that this will incur.

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