Property Oracle says ..
Leighton Buzzard is a popular town in Bedfordshire, with good transport links to London and other major cities. The property is conveniently located near several highly-rated schools, including Pulford Cofe Va Lower School, which received an ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted rating. The proximity to Leighton Buzzard train station, offering connections to London Euston via West Midlands Trains, adds to its appeal. However, the specific location on Lake Street would benefit from further evaluation to assess its proximity to local amenities and potential noise levels. Based on the provided images, the apartment appears to be in reasonable condition. While the decor is dated and may require updating to suit modern tastes, there are no immediately apparent signs of significant damage or disrepair. The kitchen and bathroom fixtures seem functional, although a refresh would likely enhance the property’s overall appeal. The flooring and walls appear to be in acceptable condition. The property is an apartment, and therefore it does not include a garden. The plot size is equal to the square footage of the apartment itself, indicating that there is no additional outdoor space. Considering the list price of £182,000, the average price of similar properties in the area (£322,409), and the average price per square foot (£358), this property seems reasonably priced, especially given its size (529.58 sqft). The lower price point compared to area averages may be attributed to the lack of outdoor space and the dated interior, which would likely require some modernisation. However, the relatively low price per square foot compared to the area average suggests it could represent good value for money, particularly for first-time buyers or investors looking for a property that needs some updating. Further investigation into comparable properties on Lake Street and the overall state of the property’s internal structure would be beneficial in confirming this assessment.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
