This property, currently listed at £200,000, presents a unique proposition with its Grade II listed status and distinct historical character, including features like exposed wooden beams and an original fireplace. A significant financial advantage is the absence of a service charge, which is uncommon in this market. The apartment is also well-modernised internally and offers non-allocated parking.
However, its valuation is tempered by several factors. It falls into council tax band C, which is less favorable than the more common band B found in comparable properties. Its location, environmental, and energy efficiency ratings are below the market average. Furthermore, comparisons suggest the remaining lease term may be shorter than many alternatives, which can be a significant concern for buyers regarding future saleability and mortgage availability, despite other potentially positive lease terms. Ground rent is also comparatively higher.
Considering these aspects, the property's unique charm and lack of service charge are weighed against these practical and financial considerations, suggesting the asking price is at the optimistic end of its likely value range.
The property is on average £2,728 more expensive than similar properties in the area

4.9/10Location
This property offers a prime central location with excellent access to Hertford Castle Gardens and the River Lea, a benefit shared with some other local listings. However, its position on a busy town thoroughfare likely means more significant noise and potential air quality issues compared to the numerous properties situated on quieter residential streets or in more secluded environments. Train station access is good, though comparable to several other properties in this market.
