The problem isn't the flat, its' the idiot/chancer that owns it.

Probably left in a will to one of those charitieees....

The average price for a flat in the vicinity is £282,843 according to Zoopla, so this may factor into the lack of interest from buyers.

That said I hope this is a one off and doesn't become a trend.
