Property Oracle says ..

Islington is a very popular area in London, known for its vibrant atmosphere, trendy shops, restaurants, and bars. The property’s location near City Road places it within easy reach of excellent transport links, including several underground stations and mainline train stations providing easy access to the City and other parts of London. The proximity to highly-rated primary schools like Moreland Primary School and Hanover Primary School is a significant advantage for families. This makes the location score high, reflecting its desirability and convenience.

Based on the images provided, the property appears to be in excellent condition. It is modern, well-maintained, and features a contemporary design and finish throughout. There is no visible evidence of wear and tear or the need for any repairs or renovations. The kitchen and bathroom are modern and well-equipped. The overall impression is one of high-quality finishes and a move-in ready state.

The property’s plot size is listed as 0.00 sqft, indicating a lack of private outdoor space. This is common in central London properties, particularly apartments. However, the presence of a balcony offers some outdoor amenity, although limited. Therefore, the land score reflects this relative lack of land but acknowledges the presence of a balcony.

The list price of £625,000 is slightly above the average price of £530,332 for the area. However, considering the property’s modern condition, desirable location, and the limited availability of similar properties in the area, the price appears reasonable. The average price per sqft in the area is £604, and while the property’s sqft is not provided, the price seems justifiable given the location and condition. The nearby comparable listings support this assessment, showing prices in a similar range.

Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
