scimus Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I have low budget and need access to public transport (especially to Whitlocks End/Wythall and London) hence considering city centre 2 beds now. Please advise if any other options available. We saw a repo last week, in a recently built city centre block, for 40% of it's sold price at peak. But strangely the rooms seem smaller than the stated measurements and there's a crack visible from ceiling to floor. Been told it's surface crack and nothing to worry about as still in the 10 year warranty period. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie_George Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Sorry I meant 40% off. What's the service charge like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scimus Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 What's the service charge like? It's not cheap. Is it norm? service charge + ground rent = 1800 p.a. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie_George Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Oops, this is an old one. What did you do in the end? To answer your question. I wouldn't rent somewhere with a service charge that high out of principle. Not really a fan of new-builds anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
