Having a look for the price of flats in London and am amazed by the value for money presented by ex-local authority flats.
There do seem to be downsides
a)service charge b)hard to get mortgage c)value more likely to dip in a market fall
But they still seem too good to be true? Are they?
Why are mortgage lenders so keen to distance themselves? Can you get as good a mortgage as you would for a normal flat?
