Property Oracle says ..
This two-bedroom, one-bathroom property located on Smith Road in Lordswood, Chatham, presents a mixed bag. The location offers the advantage of proximity to well-regarded schools and convenient transportation links to Chatham station. This will likely be appealing to families. However, the property itself requires significant modernisation. The images show dated interiors, requiring updates in both the kitchen and bathroom. The garden, while present, seems rather small and requires landscaping. The asking price of £200,000 should be considered carefully against the need for renovations and its overall size. A buyer should factor in renovation costs into their budget and conduct thorough due diligence to assess the property’s overall value against the asking price, comparing it to other recently sold properties in the same area before making a decision.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
