The property is listed at £190,000, positioning it at the most accessible price point within the current market sample. It presents a compelling profile with several attractive features: its location is rated as excellent, it exhibits a high degree of modernization, and boasts superior energy efficiency. Furthermore, the commendably low ground rent and service charges enhance its financial appeal for prospective buyers. These positive aspects collectively suggest good intrinsic value. However, a significant counteracting factor is the very poor lease length comparison rating. This strongly implies a potentially short remaining lease term, a characteristic that typically negatively impacts market value, complicates financing options, and can affect future saleability. Although the internal square footage is not specified, and therefore not factored negatively into this assessment, the property's other positive attributes are notable. The suggested price band carefully balances the agent's competitive asking price, which likely already accounts for the lease situation, against the property's otherwise strong appeal in several key areas.
The property is on average £7,272 less expensive than similar properties in the area
