Property Oracle says ..
This 2-bedroom apartment in Hitchin is listed at £240,000. The property is located within reasonable proximity to Hitchin train station (1.58km) offering convenient access to London and other major towns. Several well-regarded schools are also within a short distance, making it suitable for families. While the apartment itself appears to be in good condition based on the provided images, the overall area average price is significantly higher (£750,500) and the average price per sqft is also higher (£591.00) than this property. The apartment is smaller than average (623 sqft vs 1269 sqft average) which could explain the lower price. The lack of information regarding plot size and additional features makes it difficult to fully assess the value. More information is needed to provide a more comprehensive analysis.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
