  • At a sale price of £686k, we expect this property to be in a substantially better condition than the neighbouring properties.
  • This property has a higher cost per square foot than other properties in the area, which is why we think it is more likely to be in good condition. This can be caused by it having recently been refurbished to a high standard although particularly pretty properties can also sell for a premium.

  • We use survey data provided by RICS qualified surveyors to obtain the property's size. This is calculated in a slightly different way to how an estate agent will measure a property as it only includes habitable space.
