The listing price of £120,000 for a two-bedroom terraced house in Rainhill seems competitive, considering comparable properties in nearby streets like Ellaby Road, which feature similar properties listed for comparable prices, though lacking the data to accurately gauge average price per sqft for a definite conclusion, However, the need for renovations could influence a buyer’s perspective, suggesting a possible negotiation point. Considering the condition and limited outdoor space, the price reflects the market relatively well.

The property shows its age. While structurally sound, the interior requires some degree of modernisation. The kitchen and bathroom appear dated and could benefit from renovations. The cosmetic aspects, such as wallpaper and flooring, also suggest a need for updating. The property is habitable, but not in excellent condition.

Rainhill benefits from a strong sense of community, good local schools such as Longton Lane Community Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) and Oakdene Primary School (‘Outstanding’), and its proximity to Rainhill train station provides convenient access to Liverpool and Manchester. The presence of several well-regarded schools within a reasonable distance contributes positively to the location score. However, the area is not without its limitations which hold back a higher score.

The property has a small, paved rear yard. It lacks the size and features typically associated with a desirable garden. This is a rather limited outdoor space, therefore a low score is given.
