The list price of £425,000 seems reasonable when considering the location, which has a positive influence on value. However, the required refurbishment must be taken into account which would add considerable cost. The lack of precise square footage information for nearby properties makes a direct comparison difficult, but the price appears competitive relative to other similar properties on Albany Road, considering its need for renovation.

Based on the provided photographs, the property appears to be in need of modernisation and updating. While structurally sound, the interior décor and fixtures seem dated and would require significant refurbishment to bring it up to modern standards. The kitchen and bathroom, in particular, show their age. The overall impression is of a property needing significant work.

The property is located in Hornchurch, a suburban area in Havering, East London. It benefits from proximity to several well-regarded schools, including Harrow Lodge Primary School (which is described as ‘Outstanding’ in one listing) and Hornchurch High School, both within walking distance. The area also has relatively good transport links to Romford station (TfL Rail), providing connections to central London. While not in the heart of London, the accessibility and proximity to good schools make this a desirable location for families.

The property includes a garden of reasonable size, offering potential for outdoor enjoyment and potentially for extension (subject to planning permission). While not exceptionally large, it’s larger than many properties in the area, especially within this price range.
