A first floor studio flat with an allocated parking space and offered with no forward chain. Close to the town centre. Long lease and share of Freehold. Ideal investment buy.
Property Oracle says ..
This one-bedroom flat in Oakfield Court, Blandford Forum, presents a mixed bag. Its location in a popular Dorset market town is a definite advantage, with nearby schools receiving positive Ofsted ratings, suggesting a good community and family-friendly atmosphere. However, the property’s condition requires significant attention. The images clearly show dated features throughout; from the carpets and kitchen to the bathroom, the property requires a complete renovation to bring it up to a modern standard. This will be a significant investment in addition to the purchase price. The absence of any land or garden is another notable point. This is a typical characteristic of flats in developments. Given the condition and land size, one may want to find a better price point that accounts for the necessary refurbishment costs. Overall, the property’s appeal is largely determined by its location, and the potential for improvement upon renovation. Potential buyers should factor the renovation costs into their financial assessment. While the list price seems competitive compared to some nearby properties, this advantage is lessened by the condition of the flat and the absence of a garden.
Therefore, we give this property 4 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
