Does anyone have experience of the following
A modern block of flats that was partly built as a private development and partly as housing association or housing for key workers?
We saw a flat like this today. It's easily the best option for our budget. I can't work out what the cons are. It was very rushed, the appointment was made this morning and then we saw it at midday. We've already been stunned at how fast flats are being snapped up - and how little you get for your money.
The EA said that the posh bit is managed by a management company, the not posh bit is managed by the Local Authority, and he said the LA are often better at sorting out problems.
The bit we looked at overlooks the main road, very busy indeed, whereas the posh part overlooks quieter side roads.
It's definitely the most value for money we have come across while looking. I have a couple of relatives in the area who I know will say there are problems with this kind of properties but then have nothing concrete to say, just snobbery.
My main concern is that people might feel private buyers are taking away housing stock and be angry about it, but if it's being sold then it's no longer available as anything else?
I'd be really grateful for any thoughts or advice. Thank you.
