Property Oracle says ..
The property is a 1-bedroom apartment located in Hitchin, Hertfordshire. The apartment is situated in a convenient location with excellent transport links to Hitchin train station (1.04 KM) providing access to London and other major towns. The area also benefits from highly-rated schools within a short distance, including Hitchin Girls’ School and Hitchin Boys’ School (both rated Outstanding by Ofsted). This adds to the desirability of the location for families and young professionals.
Based on the provided images, the apartment appears to be in good condition. The rooms are clean and well-maintained, with a modern bathroom and kitchen. While there is evidence of some wear and tear, it doesn’t appear to require extensive renovation. The property benefits from a balcony offering views over communal gardens. The lack of plot size suggests that the property does not have a private garden.
Considering the list price of £190,000, the average price for properties in the area is significantly higher (£425,581). The average price per square foot is £490, while this property is listed at a lower price per square foot relative to the average. However, the lack of information on the size of comparable properties makes it difficult to definitively assess the value. The smaller size of the property and the lack of a private garden may justify the lower price compared to the area average. The property’s proximity to excellent schools and transport links also contributes to its overall value.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
