The list price of £70,000 seems relatively reasonable considering the comparable properties in the area, particularly those on Innes Road. Several properties have sold for similar or slightly higher prices. The fact the property needs some updating is reflected in the price point, but given the location and other comparable properties it represents a reasonably priced opportunity for investors and those willing to undertake some work.

Based on the provided photos, the property shows signs of needing some cosmetic improvements and updating. The living areas exhibit noticeable imperfections in the wall finishes (plastering) and the garden needs attention. While the bedrooms and bathroom appear relatively clean and functional, the overall impression is that some work is needed to enhance the property’s condition and presentation. The condition is not poor enough to warrant a significantly lower score.

The property is located in Rossmere, Hartlepool, which benefits from proximity to several primary schools with good Ofsted ratings (Fens Primary School and Rossmere Primary School are less than half a kilometer away). Train stations are within reasonable commuting distance, although not immediately adjacent. The area’s overall desirability and market competitiveness contribute to the score. However, the lack of detailed information on local amenities and the precise location within Rossmere slightly lowers the score.

The property includes a rear garden, which is a positive aspect. However, the garden’s current state appears somewhat overgrown and neglected, based on the photos. Its size is not specified but based on the images it does not appear overly large. Therefore, a moderate score reflects the presence of a garden but also its current condition and apparent size.
