Considering the property’s location in a desirable area of London, the size (485 sqft), and the relatively modern condition, the listed price of £495,000 appears to be reasonable, if not slightly on the higher end of the market, in line with other one-bedroom apartments in this area, even though there is no definitive price per sqft data provided for a fair comparison. However, the lack of extensive land and the absence of details regarding service charges could influence the overall value.

Based on the provided photos, the property appears to be in good, but not excellent condition. The interior is modern and well-maintained, although some minor updates might enhance its appeal. The kitchen and bathroom seem functional but not luxurious. The overall condition suggests a move-in ready property that might not require immediate renovations, although future updates could increase its value.

The property is located in Islington, a highly desirable area of London known for its vibrant atmosphere, excellent transport links, and proximity to amenities. Old Street station is within a reasonable walking distance, providing easy access to the central London. The area boasts numerous shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions. The presence of several well-regarded schools nearby adds to its family-friendly appeal, although the specific quality of those schools requires further research beyond the provided Ofsted ratings. The proximity to other transport links also enhances the location’s desirability.

The property has a small patio or balcony space. While this is better than zero outdoor space, it does not constitute a significant garden or substantial outdoor area. This is reflected in the lower land score compared to properties with larger plots.
