The list price of £475,000 seems somewhat high considering the property’s condition. While the location is desirable in certain aspects, the need for extensive renovations significantly impacts its value. Comparable properties on Oaklands Avenue show a lower average price. The lack of square footage information prevents a precise price-per-square-foot comparison but it’s clear the current asking price doesn’t fully reflect the substantial refurbishment cost and this property’s lower condition compared to similar prices within walking distance. A higher price would be more justifiable only with the square footage confirmed and after renovation.

Based on the provided photos, the property appears to be in need of significant modernisation and renovation. While the exterior presents reasonably well, the interior shows dated fixtures, fittings, and finishes throughout. Several rooms showcase significant wear and tear and require updating, from the kitchen and bathrooms to the overall décor and flooring. The garden also appears overgrown and neglected. The condition score reflects the substantial work needed before the property is habitable to a modern standard.

The property is situated on Oaklands Avenue in Thornton Heath, a residential area in Croydon, South London. The location benefits from relatively close proximity to several railway stations (Norbury, Thornton Heath), providing good transport links to central London. The presence of nearby schools, including Winterbourne Boys’ Academy and Winterbourne Junior Girls’ School (both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) adds to its family-friendliness. However, the proximity of a school rated with ‘Serious Weaknesses’ might be a negative factor for some buyers. The average house price on Oaklands Avenue itself is significantly lower than the list price of this property, which requires some consideration. Overall, the location is decent but not exceptional.

The property includes a garden, which is a positive aspect. However, based on the provided image, the garden is overgrown and requires considerable work. The size of the garden is not specified, preventing a more precise assessment. A moderate score reflects the presence of a garden but acknowledges the significant work required to transform it into a usable outdoor space.
