Mortgage on Flat where bedrooms separated by common landing

  • Well it's mysterious because I've never seen anything similar to it and find it a really strange concept.

    A room over a landing from another room. You've never seen anything like it and can't imagine it? OK.

    Resurrecting this thread due to new property coming on the market fitting the description, for your perusal ...

    Price is toppy, it could be worth towards that if it were a standard layout.

    Note the EA statement in the description:
    "Unusually but very convenient for visitors, the second bedroom is privately accessed off the immaculate internal hallways, boasting its own en-suite facilities and WC giving guests much needed privacy"

    I quite like the layout. it IS useful for guests (or a lodger). Not so good for children though!

    Which suggests either you don't want them there. Or they don't want to be there!

    Yes it sounds as if the guests can't stand the owners lol

    I like it, it would be ideal for letting out, but it seems expensive compared to other properties in the area.

    For it to seriously interest me (assuming I lived in the area, I don't) the price would have to be more in line with a one-bed flat because I wouldn't personally use the second room on a regular basis. It really would only be for guests.

    Sounds really odd to me. I wouldn't have bought such a property when a first time buyer

    Looks complicated. If you had a lodger there, would they need their own TV licence?
