The list price of £170,000 for a one-bedroom retirement flat in Hayes, Bromley seems reasonably priced, considering similar properties in the area. However, a lack of square footage data makes direct comparison to average price per square foot difficult. Considering the refurbished condition and desirable location, however, the price seems fairly competitive. The nearby property prices range from £135,000 to £250,000. While some are cheaper, these are generally smaller units or those in slightly less desirable locations. Therefore, the £170,000 price of this refurbished property in a relatively central and well-connected location can be considered fair.

Based on the provided photographs, the property appears to be in good condition. It has been recently refurbished or renovated, featuring a modern kitchen and bathroom. The interior is clean and well-presented. While the specifics of the property’s age and potential maintenance needs are unknown, the visual impression suggests a well-maintained property that does not need any major repair work, therefore achieving an 8 out of 10.

The property is located in Hayes, Bromley, which benefits from good transport links via Hayes station (Southeastern line), providing connections to Bromley, Beckenham, Croydon and London. The area also has a selection of shops and is close to a doctor’s surgery and several well-regarded schools (Hayes School rated ‘Outstanding’, Hayes Primary and Baston House Schools rated ‘Good’). This makes it a convenient and desirable location for many, particularly families and commuters. However, the location is not exceptional compared to all areas of London, which are more central and better connected, hence the score of 7.

The property is a retirement flat, and therefore lacks significant private outdoor space. While it may have access to communal gardens, these are limited and therefore don’t represent substantial land ownership. The property description mentions ‘communal gardens’, which suggests some shared green space, however this is not extensive. Hence a score of 3.
