The property is a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment with a total area of 510.06 sqft situated on Florence Road in Southsea, Portsmouth. The location benefits from its proximity to Southsea seafront, local transport links, and amenities. Several schools are within a reasonable distance, including St Swithun’s Catholic Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) and Mayville High School. The area’s average house price is significantly higher than the listed price of £235,000, suggesting potential value. However, the average size of properties in the area is considerably larger (1010 sqft vs 510.06 sqft), which should be considered. The property includes a small, shared garden area and allocated parking.

The apartment’s condition appears to be fair. While the images show a clean and functional space, some aspects suggest the need for potential modernisation or updating to meet current standards. The flooring, kitchen, and bathroom fixtures appear dated.

Considering the smaller size of the property compared to the area average, and its condition, the list price of £235,000 seems relatively reasonable, especially when compared to other nearby listings, some of which are significantly more expensive. However, the lack of information on the exact plot size and the absence of details about the building’s age or any structural issues could affect the overall assessment. The price per sqft (£460) is higher than the area average (£375), reflecting the premium location and the smaller size of the property. The property’s location and proximity to amenities are strong selling points.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
