The list price of £275,000 seems relatively reasonable, considering comparable properties in the area. While precise square footage data is lacking in comparable listings, the property’s condition and location support the price. The lack of precise square footage for comparables makes a definitive price per sqft assessment impossible. However, nearby sales suggest the price is not excessively high for the type of property and location.

Based on the provided photos, the property appears to be in reasonable condition. While the exterior is well-maintained and the garden is manageable, the interior decor is dated and in need of some updating and modernisation. The bathroom appears functional but old, suggesting some minor repairs or renovations may be necessary. A 6 reflects this need for cosmetic updates.

The property is located in Southsea, Portsmouth, a popular coastal area known for its beaches, shops, and amenities. Its proximity to good schools (Mary Rose Academy rated ‘Outstanding’ is particularly noteworthy) and relatively easy access to railway stations (though not immediately adjacent) boosts its score. However, the specific location within Melrose Close, a cul-de-sac, might be less desirable to those seeking a more central location with immediate access to high street facilities. Therefore, a score of 7 reflects this balance.

The property has a small garden, which adds value but is not expansive. The presence of a garden earns a score above average, but the size limits it from receiving a higher rating. The inclusion of a garage adds to the overall appeal in terms of space.
