The asking price of £200,000 seems reasonably competitive given similar listings in the area. Nearby properties on Cody Close and other nearby streets are priced similarly, suggesting the price is in line with the market. The lack of square footage data for comparative properties makes a precise price-per-square-foot comparison difficult, thus reducing the score from potentially higher.

Based on the provided photos, the property appears to be in reasonable condition, though not exceptional. The kitchen and bathroom show signs of some wear and tear, suggesting they may benefit from modernisation at some point. The overall presentation is tidy, with a neutral decor, but nothing about the property suggests recent renovations. The property seems well maintained, but not luxurious.

Ash Vale benefits from a good location with relatively close proximity to transport links (Ash Vale train station is 1.32km away), and several well-regarded schools within a 2km radius, including Shawfield Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted). The presence of Lakeside nature reserve adds to the appeal, offering recreational space. However, the lack of detailed information on the immediate surroundings of the property itself (e.g., proximity to shops, local amenities) prevents a higher score.

The property has minimal or no private garden space, which is common for apartments. The communal garden shown in the photographs seems adequate but doesn’t offer significant private outdoor space for the property itself.
