Property Oracle says ..
Babbacombe is a popular seaside resort in Torquay, Devon. The property is located on York Road, within easy walking distance of Babbacombe Downs and the amenities of St Marychurch. The area benefits from good transport links, with several train stations within a reasonable distance, including Torre, Torquay and Paignton. There are also several well-regarded schools nearby, such as All Saints Babbacombe Cofe Primary School and The Spires College. This makes the location highly desirable, particularly for families. Based on the provided photographs, the property appears to be in good condition. The apartment has been recently renovated or refurbished, with a modern kitchen and bathroom. The flooring and wall finishes are new, and the overall presentation is clean and well-maintained. There is no visible evidence of significant repairs or renovations needed. The property includes a communal garden area, which although not a private garden, still provides outdoor space for residents. The size of this communal garden is relatively small, but it does offer some green space. The list price of £225,000 is slightly below the average price for the area of £300,134. While the average price per square foot is £330, this property is priced at approximately £230 per sqft. Considering the property’s good condition, desirable location, and inclusion of communal outdoor space, the list price appears to be a reasonable reflection of its value. The nearby comparable properties support this assessment, with similar properties in the area listed at comparable prices. However, the lack of sqft information for the comparable properties limits the precision of this price comparison.
Therefore, we give this property 8 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
