This two-bedroom terraced house in Normanton, Wakefield is listed at £140,000. The property benefits from a convenient location near Normanton Train Station and several well-regarded schools, including Normanton Junior Academy and Normanton All Saints Cofe Infant School, both rated as “Good” or “Outstanding” by Ofsted. The average house price in the area is significantly higher at £327,602, suggesting this property may be underpriced. However, the property appears to be in need of some modernisation. While it has a small garden, the overall condition and lack of modern amenities may affect its value. Comparable properties on Cambridge Street have sold for between £75,000 and £140,500, placing this property within the higher end of that range. Considering the average price per square foot in the area is £287, and this property is 900 sqft, a more reasonable price might be closer to £258,300. Therefore, while the location and proximity to amenities are positive factors, the condition and smaller-than-average plot size, combined with the relatively low price, suggest a need for potential buyers to factor in renovation costs.

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