AI Summary
This is a heavily dated semi-detached house in Brighton requiring comprehensive modernisation, priced at £300,000 against a comp median of approximately £332,500 — suggesting some headroom exists, though renovation costs are substantial and will absorb much of that gap. The property has genuine appeal as a family home given its size, garden, and Brighton location, but buyers must budget realistically for a full renovation including roof, damp works, kitchen, bathroom, and garden clearance before the property reaches a liveable standard. The negative local price trend and stale comparable data mean buyers should approach valuation cautiously and commission a full structural survey before proceeding.
