The property is advertised at £200,000. It presents a mixed profile. Key strengths include having a private garden and allocated parking – desirable features not common across all comparable properties in this market. Additionally, it benefits from a favorable council tax band and zero ground rent, which are positive financial aspects. The location and environmental ratings are also strong. However, these advantages are weighed against its compact internal living space, which is the smallest among the analyzed properties, and a lease length that scores relatively low when compared to others in the market, despite being noted as extended. The service charge, while not excessive, is moderate rather than notably low, and the property's overall modernization level is average. Considering these factors, while the garden, parking, and zero ground rent add significant appeal, the limited size and lease term concerns suggest the asking price is ambitious. A realistic valuation likely sits slightly below to just around the advertised price, reflecting a balance of its pros and cons.

The property is on average £2,728 more expensive than similar properties in the area
