Property Oracle says ..
The property is a 2 bedroom flat located on The Leas in Folkestone, Kent. It’s situated in a desirable location, close to Folkestone Central train station (0.84km) providing convenient access to transport links. Several schools are also within a reasonable distance, including Christ Church Cep Academy (0.85km), Earlscliffe (1.04km), and St Eanswythe’s Church of England Primary School (1.20km). The images show the property to be in excellent condition, with a modern, well-maintained interior. The kitchen and bathrooms appear recently updated. The property benefits from a significant plot size of 1,537.82 sqft, offering ample outdoor space. This is a substantial amount of land for a flat, providing a significant advantage. Given the average price per sqft in the area is £293, and considering the property’s condition, location, and substantial plot size, the list price of £395,000 appears reasonable, potentially even slightly below market value if the square footage were known. The comparable properties in the area support this assessment, with prices ranging from £215,000 to £340,000. The lack of square footage information for the subject property and the comparables makes a precise price per sqft comparison impossible. However, the overall assessment suggests good value.
Therefore, we give this property 9 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
