At £500,000, the list price seems reasonable considering the location and relatively modern condition of the apartment, especially given similar nearby listings. Although the square footage is not exceptionally large for this location and price point, the value seems in line with comparable properties in the area. Lack of significant external space might slightly affect the price, even though location greatly offsets it.

The property appears to be in good condition based on the photos. It features modern fixtures and fittings, and the interior is presented as clean and well-maintained. However, the overall finish is fairly basic and may not meet the standards of a luxury property, hence it does not receive a higher score.

De Beauvoir is a highly desirable area in Hackney, known for its charming streets, excellent schools, and proximity to green spaces like London Fields. The property’s location near several well-regarded primary schools (Our Lady And St Joseph Catholic Primary School, rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted, being particularly close) and good transport links (Dalston Junction and Kingsland Overground stations within a short distance) significantly contributes to its desirability. The presence of numerous nearby amenities further enhances its location score.

The property has virtually no private outdoor space. While it’s situated within a shared courtyard, this is a limited amenity and cannot compare to the benefits of a private garden, resulting in a low land score.
