The property is listed at £190,000, positioning it at the lower end of the current market listings. A key financial advantage is the indication of minimal or potentially zero ground rent and service charges, which would significantly reduce ongoing expenses compared to many similar leasehold flats. Coupled with an excellent energy rating, this makes the property economically attractive. The internal space is adequate for a one-bedroom unit, and it benefits from a favorable council tax band. However, its level of modernisation is average when compared to some other properties in the market. Considering these factors, the current asking price seems well-judged. The suggested price band reflects a balance between the strong financial and energy credentials and the standard of internal finish.
The property is on average £7,272 less expensive than similar properties in the area

7/10Location
The property's location on a residential street in Welwyn Garden City offers a generally peaceful environment. This is a common positive for similar homes in the area, and quieter than properties near town centres or main roads seen elsewhere in the market. Its key advantage is close access to King George V Playing Fields, a strong local amenity, though it shares potential motorway noise with some other nearby residences.

Environmental Factors
Significant positive due to the close proximity to King George V Playing Fields, a large public park offering extensive green space, recreational facilities, and an enhanced local environment. This is a competitive advantage over properties further from such amenities in Welwyn Garden City.
The property is situated on Wellington Drive, which appears to be a residential street. This typically means lower traffic volumes and associated noise compared to properties on busier main roads or thoroughfares in the area.
A potential disadvantage is the relative proximity to the A1(M) motorway located to the west. Depending on the specific plot location along Wellington Drive, building orientation, and existing sound barriers, there could be some level of persistent background traffic noise.

5.4/10Modernization
This property shows a combination of dated and more current features. The kitchen and bathroom areas, including fixtures and tiling, are notably dated, especially when compared to several other properties in the area that boast modern fittings. On a positive note, the consistent laminate flooring is a desirable feature found in many local properties. While it benefits from gas central heating and double glazing, updates in the kitchen and bathroom would significantly enhance its standing in the current market.
General notes
Benefits from gas central heating and double glazing (as per description).
Consistent laminate flooring throughout living areas and bedroom.
