The list price of £695,000 seems somewhat high considering the property’s condition. While the location is desirable, the extensive refurbishment required will add significantly to the overall cost of ownership. Comparable properties in the area, even those requiring work, might provide better value for money, especially given the lack of precise square footage data for many nearby listings. The need for complete renovation should bring the price lower than similar properties in better condition.

Based on the photos, the property is in need of significant refurbishment. The interior appears dated, with worn carpets, peeling paint, and outdated fixtures and fittings. While the structure seems sound, substantial renovation would be required to bring it up to modern standards and improve its overall condition. This is reflected in the description which notes the house presents a ‘blank canvas’.

The property benefits from a good location in Cazenove, Hackney. It’s within walking distance of several highly-rated primary schools (including Jubilee Primary School rated ‘Outstanding’), and is relatively close to several Overground stations, providing convenient access to central London. The area itself is known for its family-friendly atmosphere and proximity to Stoke Newington and Stamford Hill, which offer a range of amenities.

The property includes a small garden, which is a positive feature for a property in this location. However, the size is not specified and from the image it appears fairly small, hence the moderate score. Larger gardens are common in more suburban areas but less so in this part of London.
