The listed price of £262,500 for a two-bedroom retirement apartment in Romsey is in line with, or perhaps slightly below, the average price of similar properties in the area (considering the data provided shows some more expensive houses/bungalows in the area). Given the property’s condition and location, the price is reasonable. However, the fact that this is a shared ownership property (75%) should be factored in, and would explain the lower-than-expected price per square foot that may be expected for the area.

Based on the photographs, the property appears to be in very good condition, recently built or well-maintained. The interior finishes and fixtures look modern and clean. This warrants a higher score.

Romsey is a desirable market town in Hampshire with good amenities and transport links. The proximity to Romsey Abbey and several well-regarded schools (within a reasonable distance) contributes to its appeal. The location within a retirement complex might be seen as a positive or negative depending on buyer preferences. This is reflected in the ⁷⁄₁₀ score, which acknowledges the good aspects but also considers the potential limitations of living in a retirement community.

While the property has access to communal gardens, which are well-maintained, the lack of a private garden negatively impacts the land score. The shared outdoor space is a considerable amenity for the retirement community, but not the equivalent of a private garden.
