Property Oracle says ..
This one-bedroom, one-bathroom retirement flat in Farnborough Common, Orpington, is situated in a convenient location near highly rated schools and multiple train stations, offering easy access to commuting routes. The property is presented in reasonable condition, with the kitchen and bathroom looking clean and functional. However, the overall aesthetic suggests that an update of decor and fittings would likely improve its appeal to a wider range of buyers. The property includes access to a communal garden, in addition to a small patio. The list price of £195,000 is likely considered fair given the location and the overall condition of the apartment. However, it’s important to note that a lack of detail in comparable property information, most notably regarding price per square foot, makes a fully precise valuation difficult. Buyers should factor in potential costs associated with updating the property’s interior. More specific local market research and property inspections would be recommended to further validate this assessment.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
