    No, I'm not being selective.

    You were being selective on area as you believed it may not be a nice area / street. Hey, that's your choice, no problem, but your being selective by narrowing your criteria.
    PN asked why it was so cheap so I told her. It looks like good value if your budget is £280pcm.

    Actually, I didn't see that you told her with facts, you made some assumptions from what I saw.

    Making statements such as might and possibly shows you have made assumptions and possibly jumping to the wrong conclusions
    It also looks like it might be above a shop and possibly a fried chicken shop...

    hence, why I showed the same road had 4 bed terraced houses

    Back to my point, there are cheap options out there if you are prepared to compromise on some of your criteria.

    Well I've been to the area and other places nearby several times and know what it is like and looking at a combination of the pictures of the flat and streetview suggests that it is above a shop, it is very small and it is in poor condition. But then as I have already pointed out, I was just answering the specific "why is it cheap" question. I didn't follow it up by saying "and so no one should live there" so you can stop trying to build your strawman now.
