Could I just pay someone to do all (design + decorate) of this for me? If so what are the time scales, as the only way I would consider this as an option would be if the work could be done in a reasonable amount of time as I would not move in until it was complete.
sounds like you want an interior decorator who will project manage it with tradesmen they know, odds are it would still work out cheaper and higher quality than buying new but it depends what you want done.
an additional advantage of buying old then renovating is any expenditure is after exchange so you will have a better LTV and can finance it an another way if you have less than a 30% deposit and it works out better.0 -
If the flats don't have secure parking, and end up in a run down area because of the house price crash.......0

From 317. With views over the old power station. Nice.
but such a lovely chic power station, sweetie!...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

I already did that for you a few days ago, and you didn't even say "thank you"!...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

The person upstairs walks across my ceiling like an elephant, doors slam at all times of the night, TV's and stereo's are so loud that I wonder if I live ina block for the deaf and the noise from the street is unbelieveable.
It really does depend on the quality of the building, though.
Our block was built in the 1920s, and we never hear our neighbours, either upstairs or downstairs, unless we meet them on the stairs or by the front door and have a chat. I've never heard TVs, music, doors, or anything else....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
i'd love a 50% drop in a nice property - would snap it up in no time but i don't think it will be happening somehow...
Chucky, you really do overuse the phrasal verb, "to snap up" in relation to property. Please think about alternatives (-:...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
It might be ugly, but at least it would be decent build quality.
Well, if you are living in it, you aren't looking at it!...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
Re any probs with new builds (snaggings) - arent flats covered by NHBC 10 year warranties? The point re rotten neighbours - you can get those whether or not they are housing association tenants. Id have thought you had more chance of getting them out than an owner occupier who was a neighbour from hell?0
