What makes the perfect apartment for first time buyers and rental investors? Is it location? Is it beautiful condition? Is it a long lease? This delightful and stunning first floor home has many other added features as well.
Property Oracle says ..
The property is located in Shirley, Croydon, a suburban area in South London. The area benefits from a mix of residential properties, local shops, and green spaces. While the immediate vicinity may not have the same amenities as more central locations, transport links to central London are reasonably accessible via nearby train stations such as Elmers End and Eden Park. The property itself appears to be a one-bedroom flat in relatively good condition, based on the provided images. The kitchen and bathroom look recently updated. There is no visible garden space. The list price of £240,000 is significantly lower than the average property price in the area (£614,521), but this is likely due to the smaller size (650 sqft) and the lack of outdoor space. Compared to other nearby properties, the price seems reasonable given its size and features, although it is important to consider that the average price per sqft in the area is £481, while this property is being listed at a lower price per sqft. Further investigation into the specific condition and any potential hidden issues would be recommended before purchase.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
