I think @princeperch is being fairly reasonable. He only suggested approximate values, and at the end of the day, it's up to you what you fit. I can guarantee that the flat in question will need a large amount if money spending on it, given that you can see evidence of work required just by looking at photos. A thorough survey will find more works required on top of the immediately obvious. The damp needs to be sorted 100% before you start anything else, and unless you are a builder or roofer, this is expensive business. I've just sorted out the damp issues in my house (which didn't look as bad as that) and it cost several thousand to remedy. You may find that in a leasehold property that you have to use the freeholder's preferred tradesmen for some works. If they themselves are responsible for the work (eg. the roof) then they could potentially be difficult to cooperate. I'm freehold though, so am not too familiar with the ins and outs of leasehold property.
I'm not trying to dissuade at all. I'm just pointing out that repair work needs to be done properly, and it's expensive.

@Princeperch thinks u have to spend top dollar to spec out a kitchen in a small warner flat. Not everyone wants or needs 20k kitchens. A bit of money spent in the right places will sort that flat out.
@well_is_it
How did you get on with the viewings then? Did the 1.5 bed need 80k or whatever it was @princeperch was going on about?
