Property Oracle says ..
This property is a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom semi-detached house located in St. Albans, Hertfordshire. The property is in need of modernisation, as evidenced by the dated interior finishes and decor shown in the photographs. The property benefits from a garden, however, it appears to be somewhat unkempt. The list price of £425,000 is significantly below the average price for the area (£617,618), and also below the average price per square foot (£592). However, given the condition of the property, this price may still be considered reasonable. Nearby properties on Drakes Drive have sold for between £115,000 and £350,000, indicating a wide range of pricing in the area. The property is conveniently located near several schools with good Ofsted ratings and is within a reasonable distance of several train stations. This makes the property attractive to families and commuters.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
