Property Oracle says ..
The property is located in Longwood Gardens, Barkingside, Redbridge, Greater London. Barkingside benefits from being relatively close to several transport links, including Ilford station (TfL Rail) approximately 3.47km away. There are also a number of highly-rated schools within a reasonable distance, such as Ilford County High School (Outstanding Ofsted rating) and Fullwood Primary School (Outstanding Ofsted rating), both less than 1km from the property. This suggests a good location score.
Based on the provided images, the property appears to be in generally fair condition. While it is not in need of major renovation, some updating and modernisation would likely improve its overall appeal and value. The décor is dated, and some minor repairs or replacements might be necessary. The kitchen and bathroom appear functional but could benefit from upgrades. The carpeting and wall coverings also show signs of wear.
The property is an apartment, and therefore does not have a large amount of land associated with it. There is a small communal green space visible in the photos, but no private garden.
Considering the list price of £270,000, the average price in the area of £532,485, and the average price per square foot of £457, this property seems to be priced competitively, potentially even below market value for the area, given its size (850 sqft) and condition. However, the lack of plot size and the need for some modernisation should be taken into consideration. The nearby comparable properties listed show a range of prices, some significantly higher and some lower than the subject property, reflecting the variation in size, condition, and specific location within the area.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
