The property is a 1-bedroom flat located in Southend-on-Sea, Essex. The flat is situated on Riviera Drive, close to Southend East c2c station (0.25km). This provides convenient access to public transport links. Several primary schools are within a reasonable distance, including Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School (0.39km) and Porters Grange Primary School and Nursery (1.02km), both of which are rated \‘Good\’ by Ofsted.
Based on the provided images, the property appears to be in good condition. The interior is modern and well-maintained, with updated fixtures and fittings. There is no visible evidence of significant repairs or renovations needed. The communal gardens are also well-kept, adding to the overall positive impression of the property’s condition.
The property includes access to communal gardens. While not a private garden, the communal space provides some outdoor area for residents.
Considering the list price of £120,000, the average price of similar properties in the area (£275,805), and the average price per square foot (£173), this property appears to be priced competitively. The lower price point may be attributed to its smaller size (525.28 sqft) compared to the average in the area (1,590 sqft) and the fact that it is a flat rather than a house. However, given its good condition and convenient location, the price seems reasonable for a first-time buyer or investor.
The property is located in a desirable area with good transport links and schools nearby. The flat itself is modern and well-presented, showing no signs of needing renovation. The communal garden offers additional appeal. The price reflects the smaller size and flat type, but remains competitive within the local market.
Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
