Property Oracle says ..
This two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment located on London Road, Benfleet, is presented as a good opportunity for first-time buyers or investors. The property’s location offers convenient access to local amenities and schools. The Appleton School, a ‘Good’-rated school, is only 0.45km away. The proximity to Benfleet train station, offering a commute to London, is a plus point.
However, the apartment is in need of some finishing touches. The provided photographs showcase a property with bare floors and a generally unfinished look and feel. Whilst the internal structure is satisfactory, prospective buyers should factor in costs for flooring, potential decorating and other minor renovations. A significant limitation is the lack of any outdoor space; the property has a plot size of 0.00 sqft. This absence of a garden or private area is a notable drawback.
The list price of £200,000 seems relatively reasonable compared to other properties listed on London Road, which range from £110,000 to £290,000. However, the lack of specific details of the internal fixtures, fittings and state of the property might affect the final value. Overall, the property represents a potentially good investment subject to the completion of minor works and is likely to appeal to budget-conscious buyers prioritizing location and transport links.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
