The listed price of £170,000 for a one-bedroom apartment of approximately 523 sq ft seems relatively reasonable considering comparable properties in the area, as multiple nearby listings with similar features are available for similar prices. However, the lack of specific information regarding the apartment’s square footage and plot size from other sources limits the assessment on value for money. The price appears competitive within the local market and makes the property potentially attractive to investors and first-time buyers, despite a limited availability of detailed comparable data.

Based on the provided photographs, the property appears to be in generally good condition. The interior is well-maintained and modern with updated fixtures and finishes. However, a lack of detail on the age and overall structural condition prevents a higher score. While the photos show a clean and tidy space, there is limited information on any underlying maintenance issues that could potentially impact the property’s longevity. This prevents a score above 7.

The property is located in Laindon, Essex, which benefits from proximity to Laindon train station providing links to London Fenchurch Street. There are also several schools nearby, including some with ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted ratings, making it attractive for families. However, the immediate surrounding area may not be considered as desirable as more central or affluent locations in Essex. The average house price data for nearby streets reveals a large price range, indicating some degree of variation in the quality of properties within the area.

The property has access to a small communal garden area, as evidenced by the photos. While this is pleasant, it doesn’t offer a private garden space, and the size of the communal area does not suggest a large green space. The small size of the communal garden limits the potential for outdoor activities.
