Chucky's right, there are lots of great flats with nice neighbours and very little noise....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

Isn't the 'up 1.7%' just something that estate agents have fabricated? The perception being it's house buying season so let's make out like there's a rush on and that house prices are rising so you better be quick..! The reality being that those buyers that are lucky enough to be given a mortgage come in then and buy for 10% under the asking price....?0

Surely not. There's a shortage of property, vendors and buyers know this, so vendors would be foolish to try and negotiate a discount, knowing that there'll be someone right behind them waiting to offer asking price+.

In The Barbican you have loads of neighbours and hardly any noise. I get more road noise from my quiet street in a quiet suburb than I did there and you could rarely hear any noise from other flats.0 -
I've lived in the flat we're shortly leaving for 12 years, and never heard a peep out of our neighbours either upstairs or downstairs. Either they've all been silent as the grave, or the soundproofing's pretty good (-:...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

Hamish if all the houses on my street sold for 350k and I put mine on for 400K would you get excited?0

That's what I was answering!
I've lived in some great flats, I still own 3 of them, nothing wrong with flats, you can't make sweeping generalisations like that.
I can if it's what I've experienced. Besides, you've got a vested interest to say the opposite.0 -

Bit rich coming from the quite astonishing generalisation you've made there.0 -
