This five-bedroom, end-terraced house in Skelmersdale, Lancashire, presents a mixed bag of opportunities and challenges for potential buyers. The property’s most significant asset is its location within Birch Green, an area that boasts good primary schools and relatively convenient access to transport links, despite being further away from major towns.

However, the house requires a complete refurbishment. From the photos, it’s clear the property is dated and in need of extensive renovation and updating. Walls require repair and redecoration, carpets need replacing and several areas look particularly worn. The kitchen and bathroom, while appearing functional, need updating.

The small rear garden offers a limited amount of outdoor space, which may be a positive for low maintenance buyers.

Considering comparable properties in the area, with its close proximity to schools and the number of bedrooms, the asking price of £115,000 appears reasonable. However, the cost of the significant renovations needed must be factored into any purchase decision. Therefore, the property could represent exceptional value for money after renovations, but in its current state, it needs considerable investment before being a comfortable home.

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