  • Just a quick update: Just placed an offer on a small 1 bed flat in Clapton. Ex local authority so no character but has a lot of space and light which more than makes up for it.

    Bought something very similar a year ago, works well for me, flats are purpose designed so room size and shape is usually good, and I find 50s social housing quite charming in it's way.

    One bit of advice, check out any proposed works due on the block, replacing roofs, windows, etc. can be very expensive. Probably worth contacting the council yourself, even if it should be covered in the hip best to know now rater than assigning blame when a 10 grand bill hits the mat within 6 months.
