Considering the property’s size (499 sq ft), location, condition (needing minor updates in the bathroom) and limited land, the list price of £149,995 seems reasonably competitive when compared to similar retirement properties in the area. While slightly below the average price, it reflects the smaller plot size and retirement-specific features. The average price for the street is £174,998; therefore this property sits below the average.

The property appears to be in relatively good condition, with recent renovations to the kitchen and new carpets, as stated in the listing. However, the bathroom appears slightly dated, and the overall aesthetic of the property is not modern, and although clean, it is not luxurious, leading to a score reflecting that it requires minimal updating to reach a higher score.

The property benefits from a convenient location near Gordon Hill train station and several bus routes, providing good transport links. The proximity to schools, including a primary school rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted, adds to its family-friendly appeal. However, the immediate surrounding area lacks some amenities which may be desired by some buyers, resulting in a score that isn’t at the top end of the scale.

The property has minimal outdoor space, with only a small communal garden. This limited land area is a significant drawback for many buyers, hence the low score.
