This one-bedroom, one-bathroom ground floor apartment is located on Movers Lane in Barking, within walking distance of Barking Town Centre and the Barking Underground and Overground Station. The property appears to be in reasonable condition; however, some areas, as seen in the photographs, are in need of renovations or improvements. For example, there is visible unfinished work in what seems to be a bedroom. The kitchen and the other room pictured are presented more tidily. The apartment benefits from a small rear garden which is somewhat unkempt. While its location near the town centre and transport links is attractive, the specific location within Gascoigne may not be considered the most affluent part of Barking. The listing price of £230,000, given its size and condition requires further investigation regarding comparable property values to confirm if it represents good value. The lack of readily available comparable data on nearby properties’ square footage hinders a thorough price-per-square-foot analysis and precise comparison. The presence of nearby schools with good Ofsted ratings is a positive factor. Overall, the property represents a viable option, particularly for first-time buyers or investors, although potential buyers should be prepared to undertake some improvement works. Further due diligence, including a thorough property survey, is highly recommended before purchase.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
