Property Oracle says ..
The property is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment located in Allwoods Place, Hitchin, Hertfordshire. The apartment is modern and well-maintained, as shown in the provided images. It features a contemporary kitchen and bathrooms, and the living area is spacious and bright. The apartment also benefits from a private balcony, which is a desirable feature.
The location is excellent, with Hitchin train station being within walking distance, providing easy access to London and other major cities. Several highly-rated schools are also located nearby, making this an ideal location for families. The average property price in the area is significantly higher than the list price of this apartment, suggesting that it could represent good value for money, especially considering its size and modern condition. However, the lack of plot size is a factor to consider.
The apartment appears to be in excellent condition. The images reveal a modern, clean, and well-maintained property with updated fixtures and fittings. There is no evidence of any significant repairs or renovations being required.
While the apartment itself does not have a large garden, the private balcony provides some outdoor space. The surrounding area seems well-maintained and pleasant.
Considering the average price per square foot in the area is £484, and this apartment is listed at £124,000 for 570 sqft, the price per sqft is approximately £217. This is significantly lower than the area average. Given the apartment’s excellent condition, desirable location, and modern amenities, the list price appears to be very reasonable and potentially represents a good investment opportunity.
Therefore, we give this property 8 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
