I wouldn't contemplate buying one of these flats -

...hardboard panel doors
...the lack of plaster on the plasterboard
...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 |
I don't like the way they fitted central heating and the lack of gas in some of the flats is poor as electric central heating is expensive. I think yours will be gas though as you had probably had the naf warm air rubbish before so you are lucky.
The lack of insulation is easily sorted on a referb and i think the kitchens are big enough for a small flat, is it only one bedroom?
