This three-bedroom end-of-terrace house on Western Avenue, Dagenham, presents a mixed bag. Its location offers several advantages, including proximity to Dagenham East station and well-regarded primary schools like John Perry Primary School, both within a reasonable distance. The presence of a separate garage, mentioned in the listing, is a positive point and adds practical value for prospective buyers needing extra storage or parking. The relatively close proximity to green spaces and the new film studios can also make this an appealing area, particularly for families.

However, the property’s condition presents a significant challenge. The images reveal a need for substantial refurbishment and modernisation throughout. The interior décor is outdated, and the garden requires considerable attention. Although a garden does provide potential for landscaping and enhancement, in its current state, it detracts from the property’s appeal. The absence of plot size information directly from the listing makes this a more challenging property to assess.

Ultimately, the property requires a substantial budget for renovation and is not likely to be suitable to someone not planning on this. Prospective buyers should factor in the cost of updating the property, including new flooring, kitchen and bathroom fittings, and landscaping, before making an offer. Despite the renovation work needed, the location and garage potentially provide enough offset to be considered a good investment.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
