The list price of £280,000 seems reasonably competitive given the location and the size of the apartment (844 sqft). However, the lack of outdoor space and the dated condition somewhat offset the positive aspects of its central location. Comparable properties in the area, even if not directly adjacent properties, appear to be selling for similar prices, but may offer better features or condition. The lack of information on sqft for comparable listings makes a very precise valuation difficult.

While the photos show the apartment to be reasonably clean and in functional order, it appears dated and needs some modernisation. The carpets look worn, and the overall aesthetic is somewhat tired, suggesting a need for refurbishment to enhance its appeal and value. This is reflected in the average condition score.

The property is located in Central Reading, Berkshire, RG1, a highly desirable area known for its excellent transport links, proximity to amenities, and vibrant city centre. Reading train station is within walking distance offering direct links to London. The property is also close to several highly-rated schools and is in the Abbey locality, which has a good reputation. The nearby Oracle shopping centre provides extensive retail and leisure options.

The property is a flat; therefore, it has virtually no land associated with it. The lack of private outdoor space is a significant drawback for many buyers.
