Top floor flats in Glasgow -roof issues?

[TangoInGovan]

We're looking to buy (cheapish one bedroom flat) in Glasgow and thus far we seem to like top flats for the view, safety, etc.

I think we have a preference for getting something way below budget and then slumming it for a bit for a few years/doing some work.

Although of course we don't want to be stuck in builder/DIY/negotiating with unhelpful fellow tenants hell for years .

Both we've seen so far and liked for other practical reasons have had issues with the roofs. Which of course being on the top floor is rather important as we're the ones getting dripped on! (both were factored but the roof issues didn't seem to have been sorted?)

Is it feasible to think that this is something which can be sorted "relatively" easily and if so what kind of budget "zone" is one talking about?

OP NC'd there!

East end is great for amenities. We ditched Ross and Liddell and self factored until we needed the roof replaced as we needed to apply for a grant. We used Macfie and co. And they were really good, very ethical and only £48 a quarter which included stair cleaning.

It was £8.50 a month and included stair cleaning, but they took over a year to rebuild our garden wall despite constant nagging.
