The asking price of £525,000 for a one-bedroom flat of 546.81 sqft in Hackney Central is in line with prices of similar properties in the area. While comparable properties in the surrounding streets show a range of prices, this property seems reasonably priced considering its location, condition, and amenities. The lack of specific pricing data per sqft for similar properties makes precise valuation difficult, but the overall price point appears fair.

Based on the photographs, the property appears to be well-maintained and in good condition. The kitchen and bathroom are modern and updated. While there’s some exposed brick which adds character, the overall impression is of a property that’s move-in ready, though not in pristine, brand-new condition. This warrants a mid-range score.

The property is located in Hackney Central (E8 1BG), a highly desirable area in East London known for its vibrant atmosphere, independent shops, cafes and restaurants. Its proximity to excellent transport links (Hackney Central Overground station) and good schools (Mossbourne Parkside Academy, Gayhurst Community School, both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) further enhances its appeal and justifies a high location score.

The property has no garden, which is common for flats in this area of London. The lack of outdoor space directly impacts the land score, resulting in a low score.
