The listing price of £275,000 seems relatively reasonable compared to other terraced houses in the Newtown area of Portchester, some of which are similarly priced but seemingly in better condition. The requirement for significant renovation is a factor in keeping the price in line with the current market. However, the lack of precise square footage data for comparable properties and the necessary renovations slightly lower the score.

The property shows significant signs of needing renovation and modernisation. The photos reveal dated interiors, damaged walls and flooring in multiple rooms, and a generally tired aesthetic. While the structure appears sound, a substantial investment will be necessary to bring it up to modern standards. Hence a score of 4.

The property benefits from a convenient location near Portchester Train Station, providing easy access to commuting options. The proximity to local shops and schools (Castle Primary and Portchester Community School, both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) further enhances its appeal. While not in the most affluent area, the location is considered pleasant and family-friendly, thus scoring a 7.

The property includes a rear garden which is a positive attribute. However, the garden requires landscaping and appears somewhat overgrown in the provided photos. Its size is not specified but it isn’t exceptionally large. Considering these factors, a score of 5 is assigned.
