The listed price of £389,950 seems somewhat high considering that the property is a two-bedroom apartment in a retirement development. While comparable properties are in a similar price range, the lack of square footage information and a precise comparison of features and amenities with other similar listings makes it difficult to definitively evaluate the value. The price appears to be in line with the local market for similar retirement properties, but not necessarily exceptional value for money. Therefore, a score of 6 is assigned.

Based on the photos, the property appears to be in good condition. The kitchen and bathrooms seem recently updated or well-maintained. The living areas are presented neatly although the carpeting shows some minor signs of wear. The communal areas are well-presented. Overall, the condition suggests a well-maintained property, though not brand new. A score of 7 accounts for this.

Ashtead is a desirable village in Surrey with good transport links to London and surrounding areas. The proximity to Ashtead station (1.52km) is a plus, as is the relatively close access to several schools, although their Ofsted ratings and overall quality should be independently verified. The area benefits from a leafy, suburban setting. However, the specific location within Ashtead, relative to amenities and other desirable features, requires further information. A score of 7 reflects the generally positive aspects of the location, balanced by the lack of precise details about the property’s immediate surroundings.

The property is an apartment within a development and does not appear to include a private garden. The development boasts communal gardens, but this is a limited amount of land compared to a house with a larger garden. A score of 2 reflects this lack of substantial private outdoor space.
