This two-bedroom, ground-floor apartment in Wakefield’s Elizabeth Gardens presents an opportunity for over-55s seeking a convenient and relatively affordable home. The location is a strength, with good access to transport and amenities, and several well-regarded schools nearby. While the property appears clean and habitable, the kitchen and bathroom show signs of age and could benefit from modernisation. The lack of a private garden is a significant drawback, as is the restriction of the property only being available to over 55’s. This may also affect its price. The price itself is competitive within the immediate area, based on comparable properties, but prospective buyers should factor in potential renovation costs and the limited appeal for buyers outside the over 55’s market. The property would appear to be a sensible investment for someone looking for retirement accomodation in a central location that is near to amenities and transport. Overall, it offers a balance of convenience and affordability, but the lack of private garden and limited buyer pool are important considerations.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
