This two-bedroom semi-detached house in Southport, Merseyside, presents a mixed bag of opportunities and challenges for potential buyers. Situated on Byrom Street in the Norwood area, the property benefits from a convenient location close to several well-regarded schools, including Norwood Primary School and Meols Cop High School. The proximity to Meols Cop train station (0.40 KM) offers good transportation links.

However, the property is in need of considerable renovation. The photographs reveal that the interior requires complete modernisation. Floors need replacing, kitchens and bathrooms need updating, and the garden shows a considerable level of neglect and requires substantial landscaping work. The existing fixtures and fittings appear to be dated.

The list price of £160,000 falls within the range of other comparable properties in the surrounding area. Other nearby properties on Byrom Street are listed for a similar price, although specifics regarding their condition are not provided. This suggests the property’s price is reflective of the local market, and while it’s not necessarily undervalued, it accounts for the extensive renovation required. The lack of plot size data in the listing is a considerable omission for a property assessment. Further research into property sizes in the area would be needed to assess value per square foot. This property would certainly be attractive to a buyer willing to undertake a full renovation project, potentially for a rental property or personal use.

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