...no insulation in the panels under the windows
...no insulation on the wall adjoining the stairwell
...bare concrete stair access ( I painted the steps with floor paint)
...a kitchen you cant swing a cat round in
...boxed in, surface mounted, piping for the central heating (at ceiling level would you believe  )
The only advantage of the flat I am in is location |
They're not all brick in fact at all the interiors are studded partitions and the huge front panel is wood in a lot of cases. Margaret they don't use plaster on plasterboard these days either, the joints are sealed and papered over and apart from the floors no concrete
