Hi, I am an owner of 2 bed Victorian house in not-so posh part of London (wouldn't think of living here long-term). I bought the house quite recently, had to invest more than I planned to fix basic things, and would have to spend much more to make it nice. However, I never loved the house as such, although it ticked all boxes.. as painful as it is we have decided to sell, we were thinking to sell some time anyway, but decided sooner than later.
Obviously we will need to buy something. I am not very fussy about "character" of a property. The most important things are location, good primary schools and good space. And low maintenance! Garden would be nice, but it comes at much higher price. I found this on Rightmove, which does not look very attractive outside, but is nice inside. Would it be a mad choice given that most people like old houses, and I would be exchanging a house to a flat? I could afford little more expensive, but it would just buy another flat with a little better looking exterior, and I am not sure if it is worth it.
Opinions needed!

Will I be mad to swap my Victorian house for this flat?
