Rare opportunity to purchase one of the sought after West Court apartments with no onward chain
Property Oracle says ..
This two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment at West Court in Sonning, Berkshire, presents a mixed bag of potential. Located in a highly sought-after area known for its idyllic setting and excellent schooling, the property benefits from a desirable location. The nearby Sonning Church of England Primary School and other schools within a short distance add significant value. Commuting to major cities is made easier by the proximity to several railway stations. The communal gardens offer some outdoor space, though not a large private garden. However, the property’s condition appears dated. The interiors, evident from the photographs, show tired decor, including carpets and wall coverings that look in need of replacement. While the apartment is habitable, modernisation is essential to match the expectations of most buyers at this price point. The kitchen and bathrooms may also need updating to attract a higher offer. Although limited comparable data makes it difficult to provide a full price analysis, the asking price of £400,000 appears relatively reasonable in the context of the affluent location. However, a potential buyer would need to factor in the likely cost of refurbishment, and this could influence negotiations and the final sale price. The overall impression is that this apartment offers a good location and potential, but prospective buyers must be prepared for renovation.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
