This one-bedroom flat in Southsea, Portsmouth, is situated on Waverley Road, within the Eastney And Craneswater locality. The property boasts a recently renovated interior with a modern kitchen and bathroom. The flooring throughout appears to be new laminate. The finishes are consistent and simple, creating a clean and fresh look. However, the external images show the property has a small, basic garden, predominantly gravelled, and the exterior of the property could benefit from further attention.

The property’s location is beneficial. Southsea is a desirable area, providing access to local amenities, transport links (with multiple railway stations within a reasonable distance), and schools rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted. However, without knowing the exact positioning on Waverley Road, judging the immediate proximity to shops and other conveniences is difficult.

The price of £159,995 seems to be in line with other one-bedroom flats in the area, particularly those on Waverley Road. While not necessarily outstanding value, it is not exorbitant, particularly for a property with what appears to be a recently completed renovation. The lack of information on the exact square footage of comparable properties on the same road makes a completely accurate comparison difficult.

Overall, this property presents a reasonably good opportunity for a first-time buyer or investor, with its modern interior, reasonable price point, and location in a sought-after area. However, potential buyers should be aware of the small garden size and the property’s exterior condition which could require some maintenance. Further investigation into the specific aspects of the location and a professional survey are advised before a purchase.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
