This one-bedroom, one-bathroom flat located on Hulse Road in Southampton is listed at £100,000. The property is situated in the Freemantle area, offering relative proximity to Southampton’s city centre, providing access to various amenities, transport links, and local schools. Nearby, there is an ‘Outstanding’ rated school, indicating positive educational opportunities in the area. Southampton Central railway station is about 1.47km away.

The flat itself presents a mixed picture. Photos reveal a relatively functional layout, including a living area, kitchen and bedroom. However, the property shows significant signs of needing updating and repair. The bathroom, in particular, exhibits clear signs of wear and tear, with potential damp issues visible in the provided image. The kitchen also presents as outdated and needing modernisation. While the living areas seem reasonably maintained, the overall impression is one of a property requiring renovation work.

The absence of a garden is a notable downside, limiting outdoor space available to residents. The property’s size, at 487.61 sqft, is relatively compact, typical for a one-bedroom flat.

The asking price of £100,000 warrants careful consideration. While this seems competitive when compared to similar flats advertised in the vicinity, the costs associated with modernizing and repairing the property would be significant and must be accounted for. This should be factored into any purchase decision. The overall value for money is not exceptionally high due to the required work and lack of outdoor space but competitive within the area, given the price range.

Therefore, we give this property 4 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
