The list price of £510,950 seems relatively reasonable considering the property is in Hitchin and appears to be in excellent condition. However, without square footage information, a precise comparison to other local properties is difficult. The lack of private outdoor space and the fact that it’s a retirement apartment (limiting the potential buyer pool) slightly lowers the value proposition. Therefore, a price score of 7, representing a reasonable but not exceptional price.

Based on the provided photos, the property appears to be in excellent condition. It’s modern, well-maintained, and features contemporary finishes. The interior and exterior look clean and recently updated, suggesting little to no need for repairs or renovation.

Hitchin is a desirable town in Hertfordshire, known for its good schools, transport links (with a train station providing access to London), and pleasant atmosphere. The proximity to well-regarded schools like Samuel Lucas Junior School and Hitchin Boys’ School adds to its appeal. However, the specific location within Hitchin, on Wratten Road West, might not be as central as some other areas, hence a score of 7 instead of a higher one.

While the property has access to communal gardens, the images suggest it does not include a private garden. The communal garden area seems well-maintained, but is still limited, leading to a score of 4.
