AI Summary
This is a large, characterful 1930s semi-detached family home in the well-regarded Upper Shirley area of Southampton, offering generous room proportions and period features — but the asking price of £695,000 sits substantially above the local comp median of £382,500, which raises serious questions about value at this price point. The property is cosmetically tired throughout and will require significant investment in kitchen, bathrooms, flooring and ceiling remediation before it feels contemporary. Buyers should commission a full structural and asbestos survey given the pre-war construction date, and negotiate hard on price given the condition and the gap between asking price and comparable evidence.
