This three-bedroom mid-terrace house in The Hides, Harlow, Essex is listed at £280,000. The property’s location is a definite asset. It’s conveniently situated near Harlow Town Centre, providing easy access to shops, restaurants, and Harlow Town train station, offering good transport links to London. The close proximity to several schools, including Harlow College and The Downs Primary School, is appealing to families. However, the property’s condition is a major drawback. The provided photographs reveal a property in need of extensive renovation. The interior is cluttered, and the decor is outdated. Significant refurbishment of the kitchen, bathroom, and other rooms is required. A small front garden is present, but the overall plot size appears limited for a terraced property. While the list price may seem reasonable considering the location, when factoring in the necessary renovations, a potential buyer would need to budget significantly for the works needed to bring it up to a modern and habitable standard. It’s likely potential purchasers will need to have experience in property renovation. Further information on the square footage of the house and specifics of the overall state of the property (structural issues, damp, etc) are required for a conclusive and more in-depth assessment. Potential buyers should carefully assess the level of renovation work needed and incorporate this into their overall budget.

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