Offered to the market with no onward chain and located within a short walk from Reading town centre and mainline railway station, this studio apartment is ideal for first time buyers and investment buyers alike.
Property Oracle says ..
This studio apartment at Royal Court, Kings Road, Reading, is presented as an investment or first-time buyer opportunity. Its key strengths lie in its convenient location, close to Reading’s town centre and mainline railway station, offering easy access to shops, restaurants, and commuting options. The property has a bathroom and a compact kitchen, as shown in the provided photos. However, the images reveal that the apartment is in need of modernisation. Carpets and decor are dated; while functional, an update would significantly improve its appeal and potentially rental value. The absence of a garden is typical for a city-centre studio flat, and should be expected. The price of £130,000 is competitive compared to other similar properties in the vicinity, though the lack of square footage data makes a true comparison difficult. Overall, the property represents a feasible entry point into the Reading housing market, although potential buyers should budget for renovations to update the interior to improve the livability and desirability. Further details on the property’s tenure (leasehold or freehold) and any associated service charges would be beneficial in assessing the overall value.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
