The asking price of £285,000 seems reasonable considering the location, garden size, and the average price of similar properties on South End Road (£316,667). While the property requires some cosmetic updates, its size and features justify the price in the context of the local market. Lack of square footage data for comparable properties prevents a more precise price per square foot analysis, hence the score of 7.

While the property appears generally well-maintained and habitable from the photos, the interiors show some outdated features and décor. It does not appear to be in need of significant renovation, but a refresh would enhance its appeal. The kitchen appears functional but could benefit from an update. Therefore, a score of 6 reflects its present condition.

The property is located in Elm Park, Hornchurch, which benefits from good proximity to local schools rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted, and is relatively close to several train stations providing links to central London. The average price of properties on South End Road is also relatively high, indicating a desirable area. However, it’s not in the absolute heart of a bustling town centre or close to major amenities, leading to a score of 7.

The property boasts a significant garden area, as shown in the provided photographs. This is a substantial asset, especially for a one-bedroom property in this location and adds considerably to its value, hence the score of 8.
