Considering the property’s condition requiring renovations, the lack of outdoor space, and the average prices of similar properties in the area, the list price of £40,000 could be seen as relatively reasonable, especially given that the property is being sold at auction. The presence of similar properties selling for significantly more suggests that even with required repairs, the price is not overly inflated, especially if renovations are undertaken to a high standard. However the price could be considered higher for the present condition of the property, and potential costs that could arise from resolving the damp issue.

Based on the provided photos, the property appears to be in need of modernisation and some repairs. While the kitchen seems to have recently been updated, the flooring and general decor throughout the house look dated and in need of significant improvement. Damp patches are visible, suggesting potential structural issues which would need professional assessment.

The property is situated in Goldthorpe, Rotherham, which benefits from proximity to local amenities, including schools and transport links. However, the immediate surrounding streets show a range of property values, suggesting some inconsistencies in desirability. The presence of nearby train stations improves the score but the general area does not have a high desirability compared to other areas.

The listing specifies 0.00 sqft for plot size, indicating a lack of garden or outdoor space. This is a significant drawback for many buyers, hence the low score.
