This property is a three-flat house in Barking, Essex, listed at £690,000. Its location is advantageous due to its proximity to Barking station providing easy access to central London and nearby schools with good Ofsted ratings. However, Barking itself is not considered one of London’s most desirable areas and the property is described as being ‘between’ two locations, suggesting the location may not be as desirable as it could be. The provided images reveal a property that is habitable but in need of modernisation. Kitchens and bathrooms show varying levels of maintenance with some needing upgrading. The decor throughout seems dated, suggesting a potential need for refurbishment. Notably, the property lacks a garden, typical of many urban properties. The high price point of £690,000 compared to similar properties on the same street warrants scrutiny. The description mentions it is three flats under one title, which complicates a straight comparison to other properties and price per square foot estimations. Overall, this property represents an investment opportunity in a reasonably convenient location. However, prospective buyers should factor in potential renovation costs for kitchens, bathrooms, and overall decor to improve the property’s value and appeal. Further investigation into the exact layout and condition of the individual flats within the property is recommended before making an offer.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
