A rare opportunity of purchasing a one bedroom retirement apartment with a 50% shared equity ownership and no rent for the additional 50%

Property Oracle says ..

The property is a 1-bedroom flat located in Woodley, Reading. It is within close proximity to several schools, including The Bulmershe School (Good Ofsted rating) and Addington School (Outstanding Ofsted rating), both less than 0.3km away. Several other highly-rated primary schools are also within a reasonable distance. The location also benefits from its proximity to several train stations, with Earley station being the closest at 1.44km.

Based on the provided images, the property appears to be in reasonable condition. The flat has a modern kitchen and bathroom, and the living areas seem well-maintained, although somewhat dated in style. There is no obvious evidence of significant repairs needed. The external areas of the building also appear in good order. The small amount of garden space is visible in the images.

The list price of £70,000 is significantly lower than the average house price in the area (£455,500). However, it is important to note that the average price and price per sqft provided relate to houses, not flats. Also, the provided data for nearby properties shows a wide range of prices. Several properties on Howth Drive have sold for prices between £120,000 and £240,000, while nearby properties on Chequers Way have sold for between £96,000 and £180,000. Given the size of the flat (452.95 sqft) and its location, the price appears potentially reasonable, although further investigation into comparable recent sales of flats in the immediate vicinity would be beneficial to confirm.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
