Ideally located in the heart of Reading, this is a fantastic opportunity for a first-time buyer to make their mark on a property.
Property Oracle says ..
This one-bedroom, one-bathroom property in Reading’s Abbey area is presented as an opportunity for first-time buyers or investors. The location on Baker Street offers relatively easy access to Reading West train station and a range of local amenities, including good schools. However, the property is in need of modernisation. The kitchen and bathroom appear dated, and the interior décor requires updating. The small rear garden provides limited outdoor space. The asking price of £179,999 sits within the range of nearby properties, however considering the required renovation work, buyers should carefully consider the costs involved and budget accordingly. The property’s potential for capital appreciation is dependent on the amount invested in improvements, and the overall condition of the property should be thoroughly assessed before making a purchase decision. An energy performance certificate would provide additional insights into the property’s energy efficiency and potential cost savings with upgrades.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
