Property Oracle says ..
This one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment located on Babbacombe Road in the desirable Wellswood area of Torquay presents a mixed opportunity. The property benefits from its location within a well-regarded residential area, relatively close to schools and potentially local amenities. Wellswood’s village-like atmosphere is often attractive to buyers. The apartment itself, while seemingly functional, shows some signs of wear and tear, primarily in the kitchen. Minor cosmetic improvements would likely be beneficial. A major drawback is the absence of any significant land associated with the property. This lack of outdoor space could limit its appeal to many buyers. The price point is relatively moderate for the area, but given the described condition and absence of land, a more in-depth assessment of the local market and the property’s specific features is needed to fully assess whether the property represents good value. Further investigation of the specific aspects of the location on Babbacombe Road is also crucial. This is due to it potentially affecting noise and traffic levels which could negatively affect the score. Buyers should consider conducting a thorough survey and possibly negotiating a reduction in the list price based on necessary improvements.
Therefore, we give this property 4 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
