The list price of £299,950 for a 1-bedroom, 547 sqft retirement apartment seems slightly high when compared to some nearby non-retirement property sales with seemingly larger square footage. However, the property’s modern condition, location, and the inclusion of communal facilities within Yates Lodge may justify some premium over purely comparable unit size. This requires further investigation into market values of similar retirement apartments to provide a more precise assessment.

Based on the provided photos, the property appears to be in excellent condition. The apartment is modern, well-maintained, and shows no signs of significant wear and tear or needing immediate repairs or renovations. The fixtures and fittings look new or very recently replaced, contributing to a high-quality finish.

The property is located in Farnborough, Hampshire, a town with good transport links via Farnborough Mainline station (0.79km away) providing connections to London and other parts of the UK. The proximity to several schools, with varying Ofsted ratings, offers families options. While the immediate vicinity details are limited, Farnborough offers amenities and is generally considered a desirable location in Hampshire. However, the lack of specific details about local shops and places of significance directly surrounding the property slightly lowers the score.

The property has communal garden access, which is a positive, but lacks a private garden. This shared green space is visually appealing and well-maintained, however it does not provide the privacy and exclusivity that a private garden would offer. Hence the moderate score.
