Property Oracle says ..
The property is a 1-bedroom apartment located on St. James Road in Tunbridge Wells, Kent. The apartment is listed at £185,000 and has 481.83 sqft of living space. The plot size is 534 sqft.
The location is excellent, with several highly-rated primary schools within a short distance, including St James’ Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School (Outstanding) and St Barnabas Cofe Va Primary School (Good). Tunbridge Wells railway station is also conveniently close, providing easy access to London and other parts of the South East. This contributes to a high desirability and potential for rental income.
Based on the provided images, the apartment appears to be in fair condition. While it is not in need of immediate major renovations, some modernisation and updating would likely enhance its appeal and market value. The fixtures and fittings appear dated, and the overall aesthetic is somewhat tired. However, the structure seems sound.
The property includes a small, manageable plot offering some outdoor space.
Considering the list price of £185,000, the average price of similar properties in the area is £341,330, and the average price per sqft is £421. This property is priced significantly below the average, which may reflect its smaller size and need for some modernisation. However, given its location and proximity to amenities, the price could be considered reasonable, especially for first-time buyers or investors seeking a property requiring minimal initial outlay. The relatively low price may also make it an attractive option for rental purposes.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
