Considering the property’s size, condition, location, and the presence of a garden, the list price of £500,000 appears to be in line with local market values for similar properties. While nearby listings show some variation, the average price points for nearby streets suggest this property is reasonably priced, but not an exceptional bargain. The lack of precise square footage data for nearby properties makes accurate per-square-foot comparison difficult, hampering a more definitive conclusion on price competitiveness.

Based on the provided photographs, the property appears to be in good, habitable condition. The interior is well-presented and shows no obvious signs of significant disrepair. While it’s not brand new or extensively renovated, it is clean, modern, and maintained to a standard appropriate for its age and price range. Some updating might be considered desirable in the future, but the current state is acceptable.

The property is located in Elder Close, Portslade, Brighton. Portslade benefits from being relatively close to Brighton and its amenities while offering a more suburban feel. The proximity to good schools (Hill Park School being particularly noteworthy with its ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted rating) and relatively easy access to train stations adds to its appeal. However, Portslade itself isn’t a central or exceptionally high-demand location compared to some areas of Brighton, hence the score isn’t higher.

The property has a garden which appears to be well-maintained and a reasonable size for a house of this type in the area. While it isn’t vast, it provides outdoor space suitable for family use and is larger than some in the immediate vicinity. The inclusion of patio space and a shed adds further value.
