Property Oracle says ..
Kensington is a highly desirable area in London, known for its affluent residents, beautiful architecture, and proximity to Hyde Park and other green spaces. The property’s location on Marloes Road places it within easy reach of excellent schools like St. Mary Abbots Cofe Primary School and Thomas’s Kensington, both within a short distance. Several Underground and Overground stations are also relatively close, providing convenient access to other parts of London. This contributes to a high location score.
The images reveal that the property is a period property, retaining many original features. While the property has character, it appears to be in need of some modernisation and updating. The kitchen and bathrooms seem dated, and some cosmetic work would likely improve the overall condition. The flooring appears to be original wooden flooring, which is a positive feature, however, the overall impression is that of a property requiring some level of renovation. This suggests a moderate condition score.
The property is a flat, and therefore, does not include a garden or significant outdoor space. The plot size listed as 0.00 sq ft confirms this. This results in a low land score.
The list price of £1,250,000 for a 1,233.54 sq ft flat in Kensington is significantly below the average price for the area (£2,060,384). However, considering the condition of the property and the lack of outdoor space, the price may reflect the need for renovations. While the price per sq ft is lower than the average, the need for refurbishment and the lack of outdoor space could justify the lower price compared to similar properties in the area. A detailed cost analysis of the necessary renovations would be needed to give a fully informed opinion on the price. A moderate price score is warranted.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
