While the list price of £690,000 appears somewhat competitive compared to other land plots in the area with planning permission, the property requires a complete rebuild which will add significantly to the overall cost. This factor needs to be taken into account alongside the size of the plot. Considering the need for demolition and new construction, along with the potential for a substantial new property, the price currently represents reasonable value. This results in a score of 7.

The existing structures are dilapidated and in poor condition. They require complete demolition and reconstruction. The current state of the property requires extensive work before it becomes habitable. Given the current state of disrepair and the need for complete rebuilding, a score of 2 accurately reflects its condition.

Ongar is a desirable village in Essex, offering a good balance of rural and suburban living. The proximity to several well-regarded primary and secondary schools, as well as the relatively close distance to other towns and amenities, contributes to its appeal. The property’s location, while not directly in the village centre, is still within a reasonable distance of local facilities and services, although transport links may be limited depending on individual needs and preferences. Therefore, a score of 7 is assigned.

The property boasts a substantial 0.71-acre plot, which is significantly larger than the average plot size in the surrounding area. This offers great potential for development, landscaping, and creating a spacious living environment. The generous land area makes it highly appealing for those seeking a large property with ample outdoor space. Therefore, a score of 9 is deemed appropriate.
