The list price of £125,000 for a one-bedroom apartment of approximately 485 sqft seems relatively reasonable compared to some other properties in the area, particularly given its location and proximity to transport links. However, the complete lack of plot size (which is stated as 0.00 sqft) makes any comparison difficult and, as it is being sold via modern method of auction, the final sale price is likely to be higher. This suggests there is room for negotiation, but further investigation of comparable properties that have recently sold in the same area is needed.

Based on the photos, the property appears to be in reasonable condition, though not excellent. The kitchen and bathroom seem adequately maintained, although some updating may be desirable. There are no obvious signs of significant damage or neglect, but the overall presentation could be improved. The furnishings shown in the images are not included and the property looks minimally furnished which may negatively affect its overall appeal to buyers.

The property benefits from its proximity to several schools, with The Ridgeway Primary School, rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted, being less than 1km away. Reading town centre and mainline station are also within reasonable commuting distance (although the exact time depends on transport method). This makes the location convenient for commuters and families. However, the lack of detailed information on the immediate surrounding area, such as local amenities and green spaces, slightly lowers the score.

The property has no garden or significant outdoor space, which is a major drawback for many buyers, hence the low score.
