Considering the property’s condition requiring substantial renovation, the list price of £179,950 reflects a reasonable balance in the current market. Nearby properties’ prices vary considerably, with some considerably higher, and others significantly lower. The asking price sits within the range of comparable properties but requires consideration of the costs associated with modernising the property.

The property requires significant modernisation and renovation. While the structure appears sound from external images, the internal pictures show outdated fixtures, damaged flooring, and a need for general refurbishment throughout. This limits its appeal to buyers seeking a move-in-ready home.

The property is situated in Moorside, Oldham, which benefits from relatively close proximity to several primary schools with good Ofsted ratings (Hodge Clough Primary School and St Thomas Moorside Cofe Primary School being particularly noteworthy). The proximity to train stations, although requiring a short journey, provides access to further afield opportunities. The area itself seems reasonably residential, offering a balance of convenience and relative quiet. However, the lack of readily available data on local amenities and crime rates prevents a higher rating.

The property includes a garden which, while needing some attention, represents a definite positive. However, the size is not specified and the pictures suggest it’s relatively modest in size, hence the moderate score.
