What’s wrong with this flat?

[Curly12345]

Why isn’t this selling?

Agreed

It looks about as cheap, basic and grim as I can imagine.

There is nothing at all appealing about this flat, I can't see a single redeeming feature.

It’s usually the ground rent and service charges (?) that make people think twice.

Not sure why the replies are so negative. I can’t comment on price as I don’t know the area but I could have that flat looking lovely in a week. The rooms are good sizes and they are nice and bright. The kitchen is ok.

Dirty, garden is a mess, looks like a retirement home and is right at the end of the tube line.

hie many years are left on the lease?
How much in the service charge ?

good size bedrooms and reception rooms.

Lots of positives but suspect overpriced depending on condition of the bathroom and length of the lease, otherwise cosmetic improvements would make a huge difference.

because you claimed I had not done something which was patently untrue.
I note you still fail to acknowledge that error.

You spied these 2 OP, ground floor with garden , nicer areas and def nicer interiors -

im sorry I’m lost here. What did I claim you didn’t do?
If you need my to apologise to you then I apologise. I hope you’re day gets better

Oh thank you. Will have a look

250 left on the lease and £145 service charge. Peppercorn ground rent.

I think it’s probably a lot worse in person lol

you said I had not provided the rightmove link
i Had
both of them are in the first response I gave to this thread, a long reply on page 1 you seem to have missed

I said I could only find one of them on right move…I didn’t say you didn’t provide links

perhaps you’d like to apologise to me for accusing me of something I haven’t done and being angry at me for absolutely no reason.
if you want to argue with someone, please go and high jack someone else’s thread.

And also if I’ve missed something, perhaps that was a mistake? No need to be so angry.

Hell yeah.
All though the current grey white combo it is clean and fresh the other is a beige bland mess
The backyard is depressing on the first

Yes agreed. The second one is a lot nicer

This too worth a look Op if you could go as far as Enfield - very tidy interior, own door, shared freehold, zero service charges, garden etc and looks a very tidy area on street view.

it’s the private garden aspect that is more restricting as it mainly means conversions it slightly older very small blocks - some fantastic choices I haven’t given you in that range if you could live with ground floor, communal gardens and nearby park and in nicer overall areas- am happy to look for you if you feel you ‘might ‘ be making the wrong pick. Never too late if you haven’t exchanged to change your mind - I enjoy doing it!!

@Curly12345 I would say these are ex council maisonettes built off the larger road. There’s another close that’s very similar just up the road. They have concrete roads and are clearly not the same quality as houses on the larger road, Westpole avenue. So the area is ok but they are almost certainly ex council.

Location. Willing to compromise on some things but if it’s a shit location due to train lines, you can’t change that and it will 100% put future buyers off. And that’s not a flat you want to live in longer than absolutely necessary.

i really appreciate this but it’s a bit too far. Barnet and Cockfosters are the only areas I can go to.

No issue - is Southgate too out of range ?

Unfortunately. It needs to be on or close to the 384 route or 184

End of the Piccadilly line I think...

Yes that’s the one. Not sure how loud that’ll be to be honest

Does anyone know if these were houses back in the day? They look like they were built in the 70s and then carved up at a later date to make flats, just wondering!
