The listed price of £145,000 for a one-bedroom, 635 sq ft apartment in Eastleigh needs further consideration. While the comparable prices in the same complex vary, they are lower than the property price, and there is a lack of information about the specifics of the individual apartment, e.g., size, view, floor, which makes determining accurate value for money difficult. Nearby properties prices are less directly comparable due to the fact that they aren’t apartments and therefore the land size isn’t really comparable, although they offer a hint at what a house would cost, significantly more than the apartment.

Based on the provided photographs, the property appears to be in good condition. The interior is well-maintained and modern, with a clean and updated aesthetic. However, the lack of information on the specifics of the building’s construction and potential future maintenance needs (e.g., age of appliances, building materials) results in a score that is not at the higher end of the scale.

The property is situated in Eastleigh, which benefits from good transport links to Southampton and other parts of Hampshire. The proximity to several well-regarded schools (The Crescent Primary School, Norwood Primary School, both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) adds to its appeal. While not in a bustling city centre, it offers a convenient location with amenities within reach. However, the lack of detailed information on the immediate surroundings and the specifics of the area’s social aspects slightly lowers the score.

The property has virtually no land associated with it, as it is a retirement apartment. There is a communal area, but the apartment itself lacks private outdoor space.
