The list price of £400,000 for a 1311 sq ft property with 6 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms seems somewhat high considering the current condition and limited land. While comparable properties in the area are listed at higher prices, many of those are HMOs with higher rental yields. The need for renovations will likely impact the perceived value for a buyer seeking a family home, rather than an investment property. The average price per square foot is unavailable, making definitive comparison challenging. The lack of plot size data further limits the accuracy of a price assessment.

Based on the provided photographs, the property’s condition appears to be inconsistent. Some areas show signs of recent renovation or modernisation (kitchen and one bathroom), while other rooms exhibit wear and tear, outdated decor, and require significant updating. The overall impression is a property needing some level of refurbishment to achieve a higher standard of presentation and comfort. The cleanliness and tidiness of the property in the photos is also questionable.

The property is located on St Johns Road, Mount Pleasant, Exeter, which benefits from proximity to several primary schools with good Ofsted ratings (Ladysmith Junior and Infant schools, Stoke Hill Infant and Nursery School). The area also has relatively easy access to Exeter’s city centre and several train stations, although distances are moderate (1-3km). While not immediately next to shops, the location is within reasonable walking distance of amenities, making it a reasonably convenient location for families and students alike. The presence of other HMOs nearby suggests demand in the area.

The property has a small, paved rear yard. It is not a substantial garden and lacks the features typically associated with a high land score. The space is functional but limited.
