This one-bedroom apartment located on Surbiton Hill Park in Kingston Upon Thames is presented as a refurbishment project. The property, part of a larger Victorian building, offers a large living room with french doors and access to a balcony, a separate kitchen and bathroom. The photos clearly show that the property requires significant refurbishment, with dated carpets, worn walls, and old kitchen and bathroom fittings. The location benefits from being close to Surbiton station and the town centre. However, the property’s lack of a private garden and the overall condition of the interior will be major considerations for potential buyers. The list price must be assessed alongside the significant cost of renovation work needed. The lack of plot size information in the listing and for other comparable properties reduces the precision of the price valuation. The absence of details regarding parking or shared amenities makes it difficult to fully assess the property’s value. Further investigation into comparable sold prices in the immediate vicinity would be necessary to make a definitive assessment. Given the current market conditions and the need for substantial renovation, the list price of £235,000 would need to be factored against this cost. Buyers should also check the leasehold details of this apartment and the associated ground rent and service charges.

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