Property Oracle says ..
The property is a 2-bedroom flat located in Bedford, Bedfordshire. It is listed at £165,000 and has 671 sqft of living space and a 571 sqft plot. The average price for properties in the area is £278,065, with an average price per sqft of £284. The property is within close proximity to several schools with good Ofsted ratings, including Bedford Free School (Outstanding) and Shackleton Primary School (Good), making it attractive to families. The nearby transportation links include Bedford St Johns train station, approximately 0.46km away, providing convenient access to other areas.
Based on the provided images, the property appears to be in good condition. The interior is clean and well-maintained, with modern fixtures and fittings. There is no visible evidence of significant damage or wear and tear. The exterior of the building also seems to be in good condition.
The plot size of 571 sqft is relatively small, typical for a flat. However, the surrounding area includes a grassy area and playground, offering some outdoor space for residents.
Considering the average price per sqft in the area (£284) and the property’s condition, location, and size, the list price of £165,000 seems reasonable, potentially even slightly below average for the area given the smaller plot size. However, the lack of data on comparable properties with similar square footage makes it difficult to definitively assess the price.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
