Short lease or anticipated major repair works (maintenance to the outside of the building) with can run into the 10's of thousands of pounds. I've just paid £15,000 to the council for works to a one bedroom flat and that didn't get me a new roof or new windows! :eek:LBM-November 2019 - Total Debt £28,000/PAID!0

Grenfell style cladding?
Gut feeling is that if it were a genuine bargain it would have been snapped up, but I'd hazard a guess other investor have looked at the short lease or grenfell style cladding and decided it's either too much hassle/risk or it's not priced in sufficiently.0 -

Mine doesn't have cladding thank god and is not a high rise otherwise it may have been double or triple that.
I'm moving to a freehold as soon as possible.

Not an expert, but surely the moral and legal obligation to others e.g. safety are different in a block of flats to a detached house.
i.e. you could flood others or burn them to death.0
