The list price of £400,000 for an 825 sqft, three-bedroom apartment in Hove needs to be considered in the context of comparable properties. While the lack of garden reduces value, the central location and proximity to transport links partially offset this. The price seems competitive but not extraordinarily good value compared to similar properties in the area, given its condition and lack of garden.

Based on the provided photographs, the property appears to be in reasonable condition. While the interior is relatively clean and tidy, the decor appears dated and may benefit from some modernization and refreshing. The overall condition is acceptable but not exceptional, leading to this score.

The property is situated in Eaton Gardens, Hove, which benefits from its proximity to Hove railway station, providing convenient access to Brighton and other locations. The presence of several well-regarded schools within a reasonable distance (St Andrew’s Cofe Primary School, Drive Preparatory School, The Montessori Place) further enhances its appeal to families. However, the immediate surrounding area lacks some of the vibrant amenities that one might find in more central Hove locations, hence the score is not higher.

The property’s listing shows a plot size of 0.00 sqft, indicating a lack of private outdoor space beyond a balcony. This significantly limits its appeal, especially to those seeking a garden. Thus, a low score reflects the absence of substantial land.
