Property Oracle says ..
This one-bedroom retirement apartment in Reading is listed at £60,000. The property is in need of modernisation, as evidenced by the dated interior finishes and kitchen. While the apartment benefits from communal gardens, the plot size is 0 sqft. The location in Whitley, Reading, places it near several schools (Geoffrey Field Junior and Infant Schools, Oneschool Global, and Christ the King Catholic Primary School) and is within reasonable distance of Reading train station. However, the average property price in the area is significantly higher (£317,942), and the average price per sqft is £333, compared to the property’s size of 442 sqft. Considering the property’s condition and the substantial difference between its list price and the average price in the area, this property may represent a lower price point for first-time buyers or investors seeking a refurbishment project. However, buyers should factor in the costs of renovation.
Therefore, we give this property 4 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
