    JOJO posted on many boards, often posting help, I don't think they're a debate socky? Perhaps JOJO said silver was a good investment, seems to be a no go area, constitutes advice of summat.

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

    So, which bit do you disagree with:

    Communal living = designed for letting

    or

    designed for letting = inconsiderate neighbours

    Both of them.

    Flats aren't necessarily designed for tenants, and tenants aren't necessarily inconsiderate. OK you might have had some bad experiences but that doesn't make that universal.

    Both! Flats aren't exactly "communal living" anyway.

    I can if it's what I've experienced. Besides, you've got a vested interest to say the opposite.

    LOL your experience is limited to exactly that! It's not an indication of the quality of all flats in existence, at the end of the day you usually get what you pay for.

    Similarly, your opinions are also limited to your direct experience.

    Good to see that you also like to generalise. ;)

    So why are so many of them BTLs?

    I'd call having neighbours on 5 sides of a cube communal living. Shared landings, stairs, front door etc.?
