The list price of £400,000 seems relatively reasonable, considering the location and the size of the property. The lack of comprehensive local comparables makes a definitive price-per-square-foot analysis difficult. The presence of nearby properties with significantly higher prices (e.g., £775,000) suggests that the £400,000 asking price may indeed represent value for money, especially for a one-bedroom property in a desirable South London location. However, without exact sq ft data of comparable properties, it is difficult to be certain.

The property appears to be in reasonable condition. While the photos show a clean and habitable space, some cosmetic updates could enhance its overall appeal. The kitchen and bathroom seem functional but not modern, suggesting a moderate level of upkeep might be required. The presence of an older-style fireplace and generally simple finishes points towards a property that is livable but potentially in need of some modernization.

Durand Gardens is located in the popular Vassall area of Lambeth, South London. It benefits from proximity to several outstandingly rated primary schools (Reay Primary and Platanos College) within a 1km radius, enhancing its appeal to families. The area also enjoys relatively easy access to multiple transport links including Brixton station (approximately 1.26km away). While not in the absolute heart of central London, the location offers a good balance of residential calm and convenient city access. However, it should be noted that the lack of readily available price-per-square-foot data for directly comparable properties makes precise valuation challenging.

Access to a shared rear garden is noted in the property description. However, the limited size and shared nature of this outdoor space lowers the land score. A private garden would considerably improve this aspect; the shared aspect reduces the sense of exclusivity and personal space associated with garden ownership.
