The list price of £40,000 seems reasonable for a one-bedroom retirement apartment in East Grinstead, particularly considering the limited land and the fact it’s within an assisted living complex. However, the absence of square footage data for comparable properties makes a precise price-per-square-foot comparison difficult. Given the smaller size and specific needs it caters to the price seems acceptable. The price is on the lower end of local market trends. A higher price, particularly if larger properties in the development are selling for significantly more, might change this assessment.

Based on the photos, the apartment appears to be in reasonably good condition. The interior looks well-maintained and clean, though the decor is slightly dated and in need of modernising. The bathroom appears functional and reasonably updated. Overall, it shows signs of wear but is not in disrepair.

East Grinstead is a desirable town in West Sussex with good transport links to London and Gatwick Airport via train. The property’s proximity to local schools and amenities contributes positively to its location score. However, the specific location within East Grinstead (Fairfield Road) needs more context to determine precisely how desirable it is compared to other areas in the town. The lack of specific details about the immediate surroundings slightly lowers the score.

The property is an apartment with no mention of private outdoor space, hence the low score. The shared communal garden does not contribute a significantly positive factor to the score.
