    What possible benefit could be derrived from a flat being unfit for human habitation?

    When we sweep away the failed experiment that is democracy and install me as Absolute Monarch of the United Kingdoms of Britain, Northern Ireland and the Nicer Bits of France and Spain, whoever wrote that is going to be up against the firing squad pronto.

    Youre unlikely to be troubled by friends wanting to sleep on your sofa.

    The Welsh house is just too odd to figure out from photos. The photos were a bit dark and uninspiring.

    What does one do with a flat unfit for human habitation? Storage? Office?

    Just looked at the Kent flat link. Given that it is a basement without sufficient natural light then which way and where do the stairs go?

    Bedroom (3.300m * 2.260m)
    (10' 10'' x 7' 5'') Front aspect secondary glazed window."
    Escher draw the plans perhaps?

    According to the map it is Vinters Park, a very popular 60s housing estate (where we nearly bought a house), and looking at the birds eye view it is a detached house? Maybe they built a granny annexe in the basement without permission? Curious it should be sold seprarate to the main house.
    Been away for a while.
