Owning your own home

I looked at this today, agent said he'd consider £150k, and share of freehold will be handed over after sale (it's a new build, three flats, two are gone). Area wasn't great, but not iffy, just boring - work's only a six mile ride. Would be a pain getting bikes up the stairs and no other storage. Not the place of my dreams by a long, long way, but it's clean and tidy, relatively spacious and has a wee balcony.

What do you reckon? Anyone know the area personally?

The area's not bad, but having seen them building that house, and the amount of time that it took, I'd be a little wary of that one. I'd certainly want more than the basic survey on it, so that if there are problems I've got two people who are liable. I think that the wife may know more about it. I'll ask her. It's certainly been on the market for ages, and I would be offering well under the 150 for it.
