The property is a one-bedroom, ground-floor flat located in a retirement development in Harrow, Greater London. The listing states it’s newly refurbished and in excellent condition. Images show a modern, well-maintained interior with a fitted kitchen and bathroom. The development appears well-kept, with communal gardens and lounge areas. The location is described as popular. Proximity to South Harrow Underground Station is a significant advantage, providing convenient access to public transportation. The presence of nearby schools, though distances aren’t specified in relation to the property, is a positive for the area. However, without knowing the specific distances to these amenities, it’s difficult to definitively rate the location. Based on the photos, the property appears to be in excellent condition. The refurbishment is evident in the modern fixtures and finishes. The listing doesn’t specify the plot size, so it is impossible to comment on the amount of land available. The communal gardens within the retirement development are a positive feature but do not constitute private land. Considering the list price of £185,000 and the average price of £334,550 for the area, the property seems significantly underpriced. However, the average price per square foot is £328, and the property’s square footage is not provided. The lower price may be attributable to the fact that this is a retirement property. The lack of square footage data makes a precise price comparison difficult. Further, the property’s condition and location are positive factors, but the lack of private land and the retirement-specific nature of the development must be considered.

Therefore, we give this property 8 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
