Considering the property’s size (635 sq ft), location within Solihull, and the current market conditions, the listed price of £140,000 appears relatively reasonable, especially in comparison to similar retirement apartments in the area. However, the need for potential renovations could slightly affect the value and therefore it is not at the top end of value.

While the property appears structurally sound from the photos, the interior design and fittings seem outdated. The décor is dated, suggesting a need for some modernisation. The bathroom shows signs of wear. The property isn’t in disrepair, but it is not in excellent condition and would likely benefit from refurbishment, hence a score of 5.

The property benefits from its proximity to Solihull town centre, offering convenient access to amenities, transportation links (Solihull train station is within a reasonable distance), and various schools. The presence of several schools nearby, including some with good Ofsted ratings, adds to the location’s appeal for families. However, the specific location within Silhill might not be considered top-tier in Solihull, hence a score of 7.

The property appears to have access to communal gardens, which are shown in the photos, providing some outdoor space. However, it lacks a private garden, which is a significant factor for many buyers and the total plot size is zero, thus it is a lower score.
