The furnishings in this one aren't really to my taste, doesn't seem to fit with the 'showhome' image people wamt from a new build!

Here's one I found today. The owners' favourite colours seem to be black, white and bright red. Oh, and their son's called Robbie...

I half wondered if the patio was going to have the same tiles as well, they seem to be in every room.

I think they've tried to go for the Med Apartment look.
It doesn't really work in a British 2-storey house.
It would be easy to clean &, if someone has allergies (other than to white tiles & the colours red, white & black ), it would be good - no carpets to harbour the nasties.

How many years are left on the lease?
Has the ground landlord gone AWOL.
I have this feeling there is something we are not being told.

In the "Major" recession the flats here dropped to a level where I could have bought one on my credit cards. (The building is the former office block/hotel of Bata shoes, dating back to the inter war years of successful company towns.)

However this time round they are holding up quite well, even still could be an investment given the 2,000 people employed 20 minutes away, building Britain's largest container port and the prospect of a neighbouring smells and flies land fill site finally turning into a wild life park.

West London row of shops with spiral staircase and fire escape [If I remember correctly a means of escape cannot come down into a living room - my son used to have a Victorian terrace that came down into a cupboard in the living room]

Can one lean out of the living room/kitchen windows and put your rubbish directly into next door's rubbish bins?

Those coach houses are becoming quite common. I'd hate to live over someone else's garage though. There is a long list of potential issues - noise, smells, fire risk, the garage becoming the local teenage/crack head hang-out (see noise/smells/fire risk), structural issues, etc.
