This three-bedroom semi-detached house located on Gaskell Street in St Helens Town Centre presents a mixed opportunity. The property benefits from its location, close to local schools such as Merton Bank Primary and Allanson Street Primary (both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted), and St Helens Central train station. The convenient town centre location provides easy access to amenities and services. However, the property requires significant modernisation. The images reveal dated decor, including wallpaper in several rooms, some damage to walls, and a generally tired appearance. The kitchen and bathroom, though functional, are basic and could benefit from upgrades. The garden is overgrown and littered, necessitating considerable landscaping and maintenance. The lack of precise square footage data for nearby properties and the absence of local average price per square foot makes a precise comparative analysis difficult. The asking price of £125,000 seems competitive considering other listed properties in the area, some in better condition and others requiring similar levels of renovation, but a full refurbishment is necessary to realise its full potential. The property may be particularly attractive to first-time buyers or investors willing to undertake a renovation project, taking into account the current market conditions and costs of renovation. Buyers should carefully consider their budget and willingness to undertake renovations before making an offer.

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