The list price of £145,000 seems relatively reasonable, considering the need for renovation. Similar properties on Fairfield Road have sold recently for comparable prices, suggesting the price isn’t exorbitantly high. However, the required refurbishment works represent a substantial additional cost, preventing a higher score.

Based on the photos, the property appears to be in need of significant modernisation and repairs. While the structure seems sound, many rooms show signs of wear and tear, outdated finishes, and some damage to walls. This indicates the need for substantial investment before it is habitable, and lowers the score considerably.

The property is located in Heysham North, Lancaster, which benefits from proximity to several good primary schools (Morecambe And Heysham Sandylands Community Primary School, West End Primary School, Mossgate Primary School all within 1.06km), and is relatively close to transport links (Morecambe train station approximately 2.24 km away). While Heysham may not be the most vibrant town centre, it offers a quieter residential lifestyle, appealing to some buyers. The relative quietness and proximity to amenities justifies a score above average.

The property includes a garden, which is a desirable feature. Although the images show that it requires maintenance, the presence of both a front and rear garden, and some patio space, provides a good amount of outdoor space relative to other properties in the area. This is reflected in a score above average.
