Property Oracle says ..
The property is a two-bedroom apartment in Sundon Park, Luton. Sundon Park benefits from being within easy walking distance to Leagrave Thameslink mainline train station, providing convenient access to commuting routes. The presence of several well-regarded schools nearby, such as Lealands High School and Leagrave Primary School (rated ‘Good’ and ‘Outstanding’ respectively by Ofsted), adds to the area’s family-friendly appeal. From the images, the apartment appears to be in reasonably good condition, though some areas show signs of wear and tear. The furnishings and decor are dated, and a refresh could enhance the property’s overall presentation. The kitchen and bathroom appear functional, but a modern update could increase their appeal to potential buyers. The property’s plot size is relatively small, being only 536.30 sqft, which is typical for an apartment. There is no private garden space. Considering the property’s size (536.30 sqft), condition, and lack of outdoor space, the list price of £185,000 appears slightly high when compared to the average price per square foot in the area (£373.00). Nearby comparable properties on Orchid Close are listed at similar prices, but these also lack the additional space or features that would justify a higher price point. The average house price in the area is significantly higher (£327,059), and the average sqft is also larger (876 sqft). This suggests the property may be priced at the higher end of the market for apartments of this size and type in this location. However, the convenient location and proximity to transport links could partially offset this.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
