Property Oracle says ..
The property is located in Whitley, Reading, Berkshire. The area benefits from several primary schools within a 1km radius, including Geoffrey Field Infant and Junior Schools (rated Outstanding and Good respectively by Ofsted) and Christ the King Catholic Primary School. The proximity to these schools is a positive factor for families. Reading train station is approximately 4.75km away, providing good transport links. Based on the provided images, the property appears to be in relatively good condition. While some minor cosmetic updates might enhance its appeal, there are no significant signs of disrepair or the need for major renovations. The kitchen and bathroom seem functional and adequately maintained. The property does benefit from a small garden. Considering the list price of £325,000, the average price in the area of £317,942, and the average price per sqft of £333, the property’s price seems reasonable. However, the lack of sqft information for the property and nearby properties makes a precise comparison difficult. The property’s size of 450 sqft is significantly smaller than the area average of 953 sqft, which might justify the lower price point compared to some nearby listings. The presence of a garden, even a small one, adds value in this market. The property is a terraced house, which is a common type in the area. Nearby comparable properties are listed between £340,000 and £375,000, suggesting the list price is competitive within the local market.
Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
