The list price of £139,000 for a 1-bedroom apartment in Southampton is relatively competitive, considering the location and size. While comparable properties in better condition might command higher prices, this property’s proximity to amenities, schools, and transport makes the price reasonable for its present state. The lack of plot size impacts value.

Based on the provided photos, the property appears to be in reasonable condition, though not excellent. The kitchen and bathroom show their age and could benefit from modernization. The living areas have recently been carpeted and painted, which helps improve its overall condition, however, it’s not quite move-in ready. While there is no visible major damage, there is a sense of needing upgrades.

The property is located in Freemantle, Southampton, which benefits from proximity to Southampton city centre and Southampton Common. Good local schools such as St Anne’s Catholic School (Outstanding Ofsted) are within walking distance, and Southampton Central railway station provides excellent transport links. While the immediate area around Banister Road may not be the most vibrant, the convenience of its location to amenities and transport boosts the score.

The property does not appear to have a garden, which is typical for city centre apartments. The lack of private outdoor space results in a low score.
