Confidence: LOW

This three-bedroom semi-detached home on Finch Road, while well-presented and featuring modern renovations, comes at an asking price of £450,000, which is notably above the local average at £579/sqf compared to £500/sqf. This price point raises concerns about the value opportunity, as it is 15.9% higher than the local market rate.

However, the property itself boasts a range of appealing features, including a modern kitchen with integrated appliances and a stylish shower room, both of which were updated as part of a comprehensive renovation in 2021. The open-plan living area enhances the space for entertaining and everyday life, and the well-maintained garden adds to the overall charm. With good access to local amenities, transport links, and employment hubs, this home presents a solid opportunity for those looking to invest in a desirable area, despite the higher asking price.
