The property is a two-bedroom terraced house located on Edinburgh Street in Swindon, Wiltshire. The list price is £200,000, and the property has a size of 600.77 sqft. The average price for properties in the area is significantly higher at £452,128, with an average size of 1,137 sqft and an average price per sqft of £397. The property’s location is within walking distance of Gorse Hill Primary School (0.14km) and Crowdys Hill School (0.74km), and is approximately 1.65km from Swindon (Wilts) train station. The proximity to schools and transport links is a positive aspect of the location. However, further information on the quality of local amenities and the overall desirability of the area would be needed for a more complete assessment. Based on the provided photos, the property appears to be in need of some modernisation and updating. The interior shows signs of wear and tear and requires redecoration and potential repairs. The flooring and walls show some damage, and the overall condition suggests a need for refurbishment. The exterior appears relatively well-maintained, although the garden requires attention. The property has a small rear garden, which is a positive feature, although the garden is somewhat overgrown and in need of landscaping. The presence of a garden is a desirable feature, however, the current state of the garden needs improvement. Considering the property’s condition, the small plot size, and the significantly lower price compared to the area average, the list price of £200,000 may seem relatively reasonable, especially when compared to other similar properties on Edinburgh Street itself (prices ranging from £52,500 to £177,000). However, the need for renovations should be factored into any potential buyer’s assessment of value. The average price per sqft in the area is £397, while this property’s price per sqft is significantly lower. This suggests the price may be lower due to the condition and size of the property. A full structural survey would be recommended to assess any potential issues.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
