Property Oracle says ..
This property is a two-bedroom flat located on Douglas Road in Harpenden, Hertfordshire. The area benefits from good transport links, with Harpenden train station being approximately 1.6km away, providing convenient access to London and other parts of the UK. There are also several well-regarded schools within a short distance, including St Hilda’s School (0.08km), Roundwood Primary School (0.76km), and St Nicholas Cofe Va Primary School (0.79km). The flat itself appears to be in excellent condition, having undergone modernisation. The images show a modern kitchen and bathroom, and a spacious living area. While the plot size is relatively small, the property benefits from a well-maintained communal garden. The list price of £435,000 is lower than the average price for the area (£779,634), and significantly lower than the average price per square foot (£686), suggesting it could be a good value purchase. However, it is important to note that the average price and price per sqft are for the whole area, and not necessarily directly comparable to this specific property type and size. Nearby comparable properties show prices ranging from £369,500 to £535,000, supporting the idea that the listing price is reasonable.
Therefore, we give this property 8 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
