The list price of £160,000 for a one-bedroom retirement apartment in Leigh-on-Sea seems reasonable, especially considering the location and access to amenities. However, a lack of precise square footage data for similar properties in the area prevents a more precise assessment. The lack of comparable prices per square foot in the data limits definitive price per sqft calculation. The average pricing of surrounding properties on similar streets varies wildly.

Based on the provided photographs, the property appears to be in generally good condition. However, the interior images seem to be digitally staged or enhanced, potentially obscuring the true state of repair or wear and tear. The kitchen and bathroom, in particular, appear dated and may require some modernisation. The exterior is well-maintained, and the communal gardens appear pleasant.

The property benefits from a good location in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex. It’s within reasonable proximity to several amenities including schools (several good-rated primary and secondary schools within a kilometer radius), and the c2c railway line, providing convenient access to London and other parts of Essex. While not directly in the town centre, its relative proximity and access to transport mitigate this.

The property includes access to communal gardens, which is a positive aspect for a retirement flat. However, the amount of private land is essentially zero, limiting the score.
