The list price of £175,000 seems relatively reasonable considering the property type (a two-bedroom flat) and location in Whitchurch, Cardiff. However, a lack of plot size and the need for some potential renovations/updates keeps the price from being truly exceptional value, thus resulting in a score below 8. Further analysis of comparable properties with square footage data would help refine this score.

The property appears to be in reasonably good condition, with the interior showing signs of recent modernisation in certain areas such as the living room. However, other aspects (like one of the bedrooms depicted in the photos) suggest it requires some updating and potentially renovation. The exterior and common areas of the apartment building also appear dated and could benefit from improvements, thus resulting in a moderate score.

Whitchurch is a desirable suburb of Cardiff, known for its village atmosphere and proximity to amenities. The property’s location on The Philog offers convenient access to local shops, schools (Birchgrove Primary School being relatively close), and transport links. The nearby train stations (though a short distance away) provide access to Cardiff city centre and beyond. This contributes to the higher location score. However, it is not in the most central part of Whitchurch, and the immediate street environment may not be as appealing compared to some other residential roads. This leads to a score below 8.

The property is a flat with no garden or significant outdoor space. This limits its appeal, particularly to families or those seeking more outdoor areas, leading to a low score.
