Help please!
We're going to see a flat today in Norwood area which looks really good compared to everything we've seen so far HOWEVER, it's a maisonette above a 'daytime only' cafe/snack bar.
What are the negatives of buying this sort of property?
So far, we've thought of:
Higher contents insurance (how much higher?)
Rear access to property only via stairwell - doesn't look good but might be more secure.
On main road - we like the thought of this - access to shops and transport but noisy - no parking - bus stop nearby
Smells and stuff from premises - will know more about this later.
Difficulties getting mortgage for any buyer especially important when we cam to resale - how difficult is this?
Please tell us about anything we haven't thought of?
Wondering about how service charges are usually divided between shops and flats and so on - guess that would be in lease.
