This one-bedroom apartment in Luton, located at 2b Downs Road, is listed at £145,000. The property appears relatively modern based on the photographs, with a simple but functional kitchen and bathroom. The location offers some advantages; proximity to Luton town centre, and railway stations suggests convenient access to transportation and amenities. However, the lack of outdoor space is a significant drawback for potential buyers who value a garden or private outdoor area. The listing mentions the property is chain-free and suitable for either investment or first-time buyers. The competitive pricing in comparison to other one-bedroom apartments in the area indicates it is priced reasonably. Additional data regarding the specific area’s desirability, property square footage and potential rental income for investors would allow for a more thorough assessment. A thorough survey should be conducted before any purchase decision to check the condition of the building.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
