Property Oracle says ..
The property is a 2 bedroom flat located in Hitchin, Hertfordshire. It is situated on Oughton Head Way and benefits from being close to several highly-rated schools including Samuel Lucas Junior Mixed And Infant School (Outstanding Ofsted rating) and Hitchin Boys’ School (Outstanding Ofsted rating), both within a 1km radius. The property also has convenient access to Hitchin train station, providing links to London and other parts of the UK. This makes the location highly desirable for families and commuters alike. The property itself appears to be in good condition based on the provided images. The interior is modern and well-maintained, with a recently updated kitchen and bathroom. The property includes a small, but well-maintained, private garden. This is a significant advantage, especially for a flat.
Considering the average price per square foot in the area is £574, and the property’s size is 678 sqft, a rough estimate of its value would be around £389,000. The list price of £400,000 is therefore slightly above the average, but given the property’s excellent condition, desirable location, and inclusion of a private garden, it could be considered a reasonable price in the current market. The nearby comparable properties on Oughton Head Way range in price from £370,000 to £702,500, further supporting the assertion that the list price is within a reasonable range.
Therefore, we give this property 8 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
