A well-presented ground floor property, offered for sale with no onward chain or with the current tenant in situ. The property further benefits from a long lease and a single GARAGE.
Property Oracle says ..
The property is a 1-bedroom apartment located in Marshalswick North, St Albans, Hertfordshire. The apartment is situated in a block of similar properties. Based on the provided images, the property appears to be in reasonable condition, though it may benefit from some minor cosmetic updates. The kitchen and bathroom appear functional but slightly dated. The flooring and walls seem well maintained. There is communal outside space, but no private garden.
The location is reasonably convenient, with several schools within a short distance, including Wheatfields Junior Mixed School and Sandringham School. Several train stations are also within a reasonable distance, providing access to London and other areas. However, the area’s average house price is significantly higher than the listed price of this apartment, which could indicate a lower desirability for apartments in this specific location.
The list price of £215,000 is considerably lower than the average house price in the area (£792,500). However, given that it is a 1-bedroom apartment with no private outdoor space and a smaller square footage than the average property in the area, the price may reflect the property type and size. Comparing it to nearby listings, some apartments are listed for a similar price, while others are significantly more expensive. This suggests that the price is within the range of similar properties in the area, but it’s important to consider the condition and lack of private outdoor space.
Considering the condition, location, and size, the property’s list price seems relatively reasonable for a 1-bedroom apartment in St. Albans, especially given the lower average price per square foot compared to the area average. However, potential buyers should carefully consider the lack of private outdoor space and the dated features.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
