You'd need to put £200k in to that place I reckon.
Total ballache.
Would be a banger when done but I don't think you'd see a great return on it.
If it is a probate sale you might find it doesn't matter what you say you can pay, they will go for the most reasonable offer from the most well positioned buyer, i.e. someone with cash or who doesn't' need to synchronise another sale to go through with it.
The leasehold aspect of it is a warning. It doesn't matter what others might say - it is a absolutely a problem because leasehold houses have historically and recently in quite high profile ways been a cause of problems. Some will dismiss it out of hand. I would. Leasehold houses can do one.

Problem is that I know I'm ridiculous, and if I bid then get outbid I'll end up red in the face and winning at 910k. Then I will repent at leisure, for around 25 years I imagine. Or that's the danger, anyway.
That to one side, I am also not enamoured of being told which specific PVC windows I have to use by the leaseholding company - as one of the things I'd probably want to do is to re-install 60's steel framed windows (there's one of the original ones left, to use as a reference), and being told "no, PVC" would I suspect annoy me.
