Property Oracle says ..
The property is a terraced house situated in Sparkhill, Birmingham. The area benefits from relatively close proximity to several railway stations, including Small Heath and Hall Green, offering convenient access to public transportation. Several primary schools are also within a reasonable distance, with English Martyrs’ Catholic Primary School receiving an “Outstanding” Ofsted rating. This positive aspect contributes to the desirability of the location for families. The images reveal a property that appears to be in generally fair condition, though some minor cosmetic upgrades could enhance its overall appeal. The interior shows signs of wear and tear, particularly in some of the flooring and wall coverings. While not requiring immediate major repairs, some modernisation would improve the property’s presentation and increase its market value. Information on the plot size is unavailable, preventing a definitive assessment of the land aspect. Considering the list price of £185,000, compared to the average price of £170,811 for the area, the property seems slightly overpriced. However, without the square footage of the property, a precise price-per-square-foot comparison cannot be made to determine the true value. Nearby comparable properties on Formans Road have sold for significantly lower prices, suggesting that the list price might be ambitious. The lack of plot size data also makes it difficult to accurately assess the overall value proposition. The property could benefit from some modernisation and cosmetic improvements to enhance its appeal to potential buyers. The current condition and the slightly higher than average price compared to similar properties in the area should be considered when evaluating the overall value.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
