They want somewhere quiet so I steered them away from a split town house.
I stand by this because I reckon it's better to be paying service charge and leasing from a housing association which seems to be quite forward thinking (the flats have Hyperoptic 900mb broadband, they use electric vans, current residents seem happy etc.) than hearing your upstairs neighbour every time they take a whiz.

I lived in a split house for years, never heard my neighbours taking a whiz. When I talk to all of my mates in flats it just seems such a ballache (even those who have fast broadband and electric vans). Getting anything done always seems like a huge hassle, both to convince the housing association and then the logistical issues.

Leasehold always sucks but at the least I'd steer them towards a split town house rather than purpose built block to avoid the ews1 issues
