Currently, this is one of the cheapest Worcester properties on the market. At £64,000 the property is an absolute steal and £204,359 cheaper than the average home in Worcester (according to figures from Zoopla). However, before you place an offer be prepared to invest some more funds into the home. It is in need of renovation and the décor could use some updating too. In the bathroom, the tiles are missing and the floorboards exposed. The kitchen could also use some hope and might need to be completely refitted.
