The property is a 2 bedroom terraced house located on School Street in Almondbury, Huddersfield. It is listed for £140,000 and has a floor area of 680 sqft. The average house price in the area is significantly higher at £291,935, with an average price per sqft of £258. Compared to this average, the list price of £140,000 appears low, especially considering the property’s location and the relatively small plot size. However, several nearby properties on School Street itself sold for considerably less, ranging from £41,300 to £125,000. This suggests that the list price, while below the area average, may still be within the range of comparable properties on the same street. Further investigation into the specifics of these sales (e.g., condition, size) would be needed to confirm this. The property benefits from being close to several schools, including Moldgreen Community Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted), and is within reasonable proximity to several train stations. This positive aspect contributes to a favorable location score. Based on the photographs, the property appears to be in need of some modernisation and updating. While structurally sound, the interior shows signs of wear and tear, particularly in the bedrooms. The garden is present but requires significant attention. The kitchen and bathroom, although functional, are dated. These factors suggest a lower score for condition. The property includes a small rear garden, although it is currently overgrown and requires considerable landscaping. This is a positive feature, but its current condition needs to be factored into the overall assessment. Given the lower-than-average price per sqft compared to the area average, the proximity to local amenities, and the presence of a garden, the list price of £140,000 could be considered reasonable, relative to other properties on School Street, but further detailed analysis of comparable sales is required to confirm this.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
