The list price of £600,000 seems somewhat high considering the apparent condition of the property and the limited land. While the location in Brighton is desirable, the need for refurbishment and the relatively small plot size compared to other properties in the area (where available data allows for comparison) suggests that the price may not represent exceptional value. The fact it is marketed as an investment HMO might inflate the price, but not necessarily represent the value of the building for a single family.

Based on the photographs, the property appears to be in average condition. While the kitchen seems adequately equipped and relatively modern, the bedrooms show signs of wear and tear and appear to be cluttered, requiring a thorough cleaning and possibly some minor repairs or updates. There are also some visible signs of wear and tear in other areas, such as the walls and carpets, suggesting the property could benefit from some level of refurbishment. The overall condition is not poor, but certainly not excellent.

The property is located in Brighton, a popular city with good amenities and transport links. Hartington Road itself is in the Hanover and Elm Grove area, known for its mix of residential and commercial properties. Proximity to several well-regarded primary schools (Elm Grove, St Martin’s, Fairlight, etc.) further enhances its appeal to families. While not in the absolute city center, the relatively close proximity to train stations and the overall desirability of Brighton contributes to the score.

The provided information indicates a plot size of 0.00 SQFT, suggesting a very limited or non-existent garden. While there is a small patio area visible in a picture, it is relatively small and does not significantly contribute to the overall land value. The lack of significant outdoor space limits the score.
