Apartments

Apartments have become increasingly popular over the past few years, not only amongst city dwellers and the young, but also for those who have perhaps retired and are looking to downsize. There has been a huge increase in the number of warehouse and mill conversions making apartments readily obtainable in both urban and rural settings.

If you're looking to buy a flat, there are a number of aspects that you will need to think about: What features should you look for? What about maintenance fees and service charges? Is the flat leasehold or would you have a share of the freehold? Are there any covenants or restrictions on the property? In this section, we take a closer look at all these issues to ensure you are armed with the right information.
