Chain-free three-bed refurbishment project with strong rental potential.
No onward chain — ready for immediate purchase
Full renovation required throughout; budget for systems and finish
Leasehold tenure; check lease length and ground rent terms
Edwardian bay-front terrace with period features to restore
Strong local rental demand and good transport links to Liverpool
Situated in a very deprived area; consider lettings and resale risks
Small front yard and rear yard — both need maintenance
No flood risk; excellent mobile signal and fast broadband
This three-bedroom Edwardian mid-terrace on Somerset Road is a clear refurbishment project for experienced investors or cash buyers. The property is sold chain-free and offers strong rental demand in Bootle, with good transport links into Liverpool and nearby schools. The terrace retains period features—bay window, decorative brickwork and original internal details—providing scope to add significant value with a sympathetic renovation.
The house requires a full refurbishment throughout: kitchens, bathroom, decorations, and likely mechanical and electrical upgrades. It has a small front yard and a rear yard, but both need maintenance. The property sits in a very deprived area of predominantly blue-collar terraces; crime is average and local services are basic, so buyers should weigh refurbishment costs against achievable rents or resale values.
Practical positives include no flood risk, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, plus low council tax running costs. The leasehold tenure and the extent of works needed are material considerations—budget realistically for structural checks, new systems, and professional fees. For an investor or builder comfortable working in challenging markets, this offers a low-entry purchase price and clear upside once renovated.
