Price Analysis

This property is moderately valued

This property is
moderately valued
Estimated market value is between
£240,500 - £279,500
Current price£260,000
£240,500Lower band valuation
£279,500Higher band valuation
This property is listed at £260,000. Key considerations for its valuation include its 856 square feet of internal space, which is modest compared to many local comparables, and its single bathroom, where many similar properties feature two. Furthermore, its overall location rating is somewhat below the average for the area. However, the property boasts a highly advantageous Council Tax Band 'B', offering lower ongoing costs, and a good energy efficiency rating. It also includes a garden, which is a common feature in this market, and non-allocated parking. While the tenure is freehold, this is standard for the properties analyzed. Considering these aspects, the agent's pricing at the lower end of the market seems to reflect its specific attributes. The suggested price band acknowledges this positioning while allowing for typical market negotiation margins.
The property is on average £83,200 less expensive than similar properties in the area

Location

This property offers the significant benefit of immediate access to Ludwell Valley Park and its natural features, a strong positive shared with other well-located homes in the area. However, its position directly on Rifford Road, a key local thoroughfare, likely results in more traffic noise compared to the many properties in this market situated on quieter residential streets. This presents a mixed environmental profile.

Modernization

While the kitchen has some modern elements like a new mixer tap, its worktops and splashback are somewhat dated, placing it as less updated than several comparables with fully modern kitchens. Key updates include a new central heating boiler and double glazing, though some general decor, such as varied carpets and dated wallpaper in certain rooms, indicates areas for improvement to match the more comprehensively modernized properties in the market.
