The list price of £450,000 needs evaluation against comparable properties. Considering nearby properties on Lark Hill have sold for a range of prices, some higher and some lower than the listing price. In addition, the lack of plot size data for the subject property makes a precise price per square foot calculation impossible. However, given the condition of the property, requiring some level of modernization, and considering the location’s overall desirability, the price appears relatively reasonable within the broader Hove market, which warrants a ⁷⁄₁₀ score.

Based on the photographs, the property shows signs of needing some modernisation and updating. Whilst structurally sound, the interior decor appears dated in several rooms, particularly the kitchen and bathrooms. There is some evidence of minor maintenance requirements (e.g., ceiling in kitchen). While habitable, significant renovations would likely enhance its value and appeal, hence a score of ⁵⁄₁₀.

The property is located in Lark Hill, Hove, within the Hangleton And Knoll locality. While not in the most central part of Hove, the area benefits from proximity to good primary schools (Hangleton Park Children’s Centre, West Blatchington Primary, King’s School, and Hangleton Primary School, all rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted), which are within a short distance. Train stations such as Aldrington and Portslade are also relatively close, offering convenient transport links. This makes it suitable for families and commuters, thus justifying a ⁷⁄₁₀ score.

The property includes a garden which seems reasonably sized for a semi-detached house. The garden requires some attention with aspects appearing somewhat overgrown and unkempt but offers potential for landscaping and improvement. This merits a score of ⁶⁄₁₀.
