Considering the property is a one-bedroom retirement flat in Romford with access to communal gardens, the list price of £140,000 appears relatively reasonable when compared to similar nearby properties. The price may be influenced by the retirement-specific nature of the property, limiting the buyer pool. The absence of precise square footage data for comparable properties makes a precise price-per-square-foot analysis difficult.

The property appears to be well-maintained and in generally good condition, based on the provided photographs. The kitchen and bathroom seem recently updated, indicating that major renovations aren’t immediately necessary. However, some cosmetic upgrades might enhance the overall aesthetic appeal. The interior decor is subjective but looks reasonably clean and tidy.

The property benefits from being close to several good schools (The Mawney Foundation School, Crowlands Primary School), with ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted ratings. The proximity to Romford (1.62 KM) provides convenient access to transportation and amenities. While it’s not in the most central part of Romford, the surrounding areas offer a degree of residential peace. The proximity to several other streets (e.g., Brooklands Road) with higher average prices suggest some level of desirability in the immediate vicinity.

While the property has access to communal gardens, the actual land ownership is minimal and restricted to communal spaces. The lack of a private garden reduces the overall score, though the communal green spaces provide a notable benefit for a retirement apartment.
