    Don’t flats like that usually come with the worst of renting and owning though, as you usually still have ground rates that cost quite a bit and the leasehold expires eventually? Plus they usually don’t have gardens.

      Kinda yeah, but I was still able to buy it with only £10k down, my mortgage is only £350/month, and I’ve repainted the place to suit my taste and cut out a wall to make space for a washing machine (I put a dishwasher in the kitchen instead). Not saying it’s for everyone, but it worked for me 🤷
