I wonder what planning would be like on something like that. It's Bucks so you probably need to be a friend of the Queen to get anything through.0 -

I agree, there seems quite a few flats converted out of semis, that are:
not meeting building regs,
have imperfect leases,
on main roads in dodgy areas.
