The list price of £425,000 seems slightly high considering the property’s condition and the lack of precise square footage information for comparable properties. While nearby properties on The Vale have sold for similar prices, the apparent need for renovation and the relatively small garden compared to the price point suggest it might not be the best value for money. More information on the internal condition and the plot size would be needed for a more definitive assessment.

The property shows signs of age and requires some updating. While structurally sound, the exterior needs maintenance, the garden is overgrown, and the overall aesthetic suggests a need for cosmetic improvements, both inside and out. The photos don’t show the interior, so this score is based on the exterior condition alone.

The property benefits from its proximity to several good primary schools, with Vange Primary School and Nursery being particularly close by and rated as ‘Good’ by Ofsted. The nearby c2c line provides reasonable transport links to London and other areas. However, Basildon itself is not considered a top-tier location in the UK housing market, and the immediate surroundings shown in the photos appear somewhat overgrown and could benefit from landscaping. This limits the score.

The property includes a garden, but the images show it to be somewhat neglected and relatively small in size compared to other properties. There’s potential, but it currently detracts from the overall appeal.
