Property Oracle says ..
This ground floor flat is located on Recreation Road in Guildford, Surrey. The property benefits from being close to local amenities and transport links, including Guildford train station which is approximately 1.09km away. There are also several schools within a reasonable distance, including Sandfield Primary School (0.57km) and The Royal Grammar School Guildford (0.94km). The flat itself is relatively small at 385.35 sqft and comprises one bedroom and one bathroom. While the images suggest the property is in reasonable condition and has had some modernisation, it is not presented as a modern property. The kitchen and bathroom appear functional but could benefit from some updating. There is a small rear garden. The list price of £235,000 is significantly lower than the average price for the area (£554,082), and given that the average price per sqft is £501, this property is priced considerably lower. However, it is important to note that the average property size is much larger (1104 sqft) than this flat. Nearby comparable properties on Recreation Road range from £141,500 to £280,000 for flats, suggesting the list price is within the range of similar properties in the immediate vicinity. Comparing the list price to nearby comparable properties, the price seems reasonable, although the lack of information regarding the plot size for nearby properties makes a definitive comparison difficult.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
