The property is located in South Croydon, a suburb of London. The area benefits from relatively easy access to public transport, with South Croydon station approximately 0.41km away, providing links to London Victoria and London Bridge. Several primary schools are within a short distance, including St Peter’s Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) and Harris Primary Academy Haling Park (rated ‘Outstanding’). This suggests a good location score, although further investigation into secondary school options and the overall amenities in the immediate vicinity would be beneficial.

Based on the provided images, the property appears to be a period property, possibly Edwardian or Victorian in style. It retains many original features, including fireplaces and high ceilings, but some modernisation has been undertaken in the kitchen and bathroom. While the property appears well-maintained, there is no evidence to suggest that it is in need of significant renovation. The condition of the property appears to be good, although a physical inspection would be necessary to confirm this.

The property has a small front garden, but the plot size is listed as 0.00 sqft, suggesting that there is minimal outdoor space. This is a relatively small plot for a property of this type and style.

The list price of £230,000 is significantly lower than the average price of £409,864 for properties in the area. However, the average price per sqft of £456 is higher than the implied price per sqft for this property (£230,000 / 550.04 sqft = £418.11). The lower price may be due to the smaller plot size and the fact it is an apartment rather than a house. Nearby comparable properties on Dornton Road range from £165,000 to £875,000, indicating a wide price range. Considering the property’s condition, location, and limited land, the list price appears reasonable, although further analysis of comparable properties with similar characteristics would be needed to fully assess its value. The lack of sqft data for nearby properties hinders a more precise price comparison.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
