The average house price in the area is £307,499, with an average price per sqft of £300. This property is slightly above average in size. Location: Birkdale is a desirable residential area in Southport. The proximity to good schools such as Birkdale High School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) and Greenbank High School, along with its relatively close distance to several Merseyrail stations (Hillside being the closest at 0.52km), makes it a convenient location for families and commuters. The area appears to have a good selection of amenities, although specific details are not provided. This contributes to a positive location score. Condition: The property shows signs of needing some modernisation. While the structure appears sound, the interior decor and some fixtures (e.g., carpets, kitchen) look dated and could benefit from an update. The garden also appears slightly overgrown and could benefit from some landscaping. The property is not in a state of disrepair, but some work would improve its overall presentation. Land: The property includes a garden, as shown in the provided images. Although the garden could benefit from some maintenance, the fact that it is present adds to the property’s appeal, especially for families. Price: Considering the property’s size (1,689.93 sqft), location in Birkdale, and the inclusion of a garden, the list price of £310,000 seems reasonable. Nearby comparable properties on Lynton Road range from £220,000 to £417,000, with significant variation in size. The average price per sqft in the area is £300, and this property is slightly larger than average. Therefore, the asking price appears to be in line with the market value, considering its condition and features.

Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
