  • Sorry, that wasn't very helpful.

    I used to live in a 1960s flat in SW1 and it had a concrete rot problem and was also sinking and twisting into the ground. Cost well over a million squids to out right. No idea if that's a typical thing to worry about for that era though.

    More specifically to that flat, that side of the heath is renowned for random subsidence problems. The Cator estate is particularly badly hit but you're a way away from there.

    At some point somebody bought three of those flats and knocked them through to make a house. We went to view it last year. Seriously nice location and building but the renovation works were going to be too big an ask of us at the time.

    2 flats rather than 3. One flat normally gets the left side of the ground floor, all of the first and the back half of the 2nd floor. Then other one gets right/none/front/all. Having both would be amazing.
    It's still for sale actually but they've dropped the asking a lot. Started at £1,675,000 on TheModernHouse 2 years ago, then gradually dropped and changed agents down to 1.25M (then to 1.35 again).

    @Howard Think windows are down to the individual owners (/leaseholders). The neighbour mentioned they choose whether to opt in or not (and paid the ~4k for the large windows at the front, with the back windows being a few years earlier).

    Gotta say I'm pretty tempted. Obviously I'd miss the lovely noise, pollution and view that is the sliproad to the Blackwall Tunnel Approach as I currently have, but I'm sure I could put up with Blackheath instead.
