The asking price of £85,000 seems reasonable considering the size of the apartment and its central location. However, the required renovation works will significantly impact the overall cost of ownership and could affect its affordability. Considering comparable properties in the area, the price could be seen as a little high without improvement works.

Based on the provided photographs, the property appears to be in need of significant modernisation and refurbishment. The interior is largely unfurnished and shows signs of wear and tear, particularly the flooring. Whilst structurally sound it’s not in excellent condition and requires substantial investment to improve its presentation and appeal.

The property benefits from a central location in Northampton, close to the train station and local amenities. The proximity to schools, although some have less than stellar Ofsted ratings, adds to its convenience for families or students. However, the immediate surrounding streets show a mixed bag of property values, suggesting some degree of variability in desirability within the area.

The property is an apartment with no private garden or outdoor space; hence the low score. Whilst there are communal areas shown, there’s no individual land ownership.
