The list price of £400,000 for a 1,000 sqft, 3-bedroom semi-detached house in Basildon seems reasonable, considering comparable properties in the area. Although precise price per sqft data for nearby streets is absent, nearby listings suggest prices ranging from £94,000 to £450,000, showcasing the wide variability within the area and overall market variations. The recent renovations and its presentation contribute to a value that justifies the price, although it’s not exceptionally remarkable compared to other areas of the UK. The absence of detailed plot size data slightly impacts the assessment.

Based on the provided photographs, the property appears to be in good condition. It shows evidence of recent renovations or upgrades, including a modern kitchen and updated bathrooms. The interior is presented well and seems well-maintained. While there’s no indication of major repairs needed, some minor cosmetic improvements could potentially push the score even higher.

The property is located in The Vale, Basildon, Essex. While Basildon itself might not be considered a prime location by all, this specific area benefits from proximity to good schools (Vange Primary School and Nursery, Bardfield Academy, rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted, are within a reasonable distance) and relatively easy access to the A13 for commuting. The presence of nearby c2c train stations also enhances its accessibility. However, Basildon’s overall reputation and potentially limited amenities compared to more affluent areas warrant a score below a perfect 10.

The property has a garden, but the provided images suggest it is relatively small and mostly comprised of gravel. While there is a patio area for outdoor seating, the lack of extensive lawn space or additional features prevents a higher score.
