This one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment in Lancing, West Sussex, is listed at £85,000. The property is located in Freshbrook Court, a retirement development for over-60s. It’s described as conveniently located in the center of Lancing village, near the train station and local amenities.

The apartment itself appears to be relatively small, with the images revealing dated décor and finishes that would likely benefit from modernization. The kitchen and bathroom in particular seem quite basic and could be updated to enhance the property’s appeal and value. While the photos do not show significant damage, the general condition appears to be fair rather than excellent.

The property’s lack of outdoor space is a notable drawback. As a retirement apartment, there is likely access to communal gardens, but this is not explicitly stated.

In terms of pricing, the list price seems acceptable for a one-bedroom flat in the area. The surrounding area features a variety of properties with a broad range of prices. Nearby similar properties are similarly priced but additional data on sq ft for comparables are missing. This makes a definitive valuation difficult without more detailed information on the property’s exact square footage and the specific details of other comparable sales in the immediate vicinity. Prospective buyers should carefully compare it with other similar apartments in the same complex or nearby developments and consider the costs of any necessary renovations or upgrades.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
