Property Oracle says ..
The property is a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment located in a modern building in Reading, Berkshire. The apartment is situated in a convenient location, close to Reading train station and various amenities. Based on the provided images, the property appears to be in good condition, with a modern and well-maintained interior. However, the lack of outdoor space is a notable drawback. The list price of £230,000 is lower than the average price of similar properties in the area (£340,786), and significantly lower than nearby comparable listings. Considering the property’s modern condition and central location, the price may represent good value for money, especially given the lack of plot size. However, the smaller size (483 sqft) compared to the area average (896 sqft) should be taken into account. The average price per sqft in the area is £380; this property’s price per sqft is significantly lower. The proximity to Reading train station and several well-regarded schools adds to the property’s appeal. The lack of a garden or outdoor space is a significant factor to consider, as many buyers prioritize this feature.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
