The listed price of £140,000 for a one-bedroom apartment of 500 sqft seems reasonable, although not exceptionally good value compared to other similar properties in the area. The average price on Shirley Road is £135,000 which supports the listing price. However, without precise square footage data for comparable properties, a definitive judgment on value for money is difficult.

The property appears to be in a reasonably good condition. The photos show a generally clean and well-maintained interior, although some minor cosmetic updates may be needed in areas like the bathroom. The age and state of the plumbing or electrics are uncertain.

The property benefits from its proximity to Southampton Central station and several well-regarded schools, such as St Mark’s Church of England Primary School and Freemantle Church of England Community Academy, both rated as ‘Good’ by Ofsted. The nearby Shirley High Street offers convenient access to amenities. However, the lack of detailed information on the immediate surroundings and the absence of a garden slightly lower the score.

The property has minimal land, which is only a small paved area at the back. This is a low score as a lack of a garden or sufficient outdoor space is a significant drawback for many buyers.
