Material drawbacks are factual and important. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived/hampered neighbourhoods and some local secondary schools require improvement. Broadband speeds in the area are slow, which may affect remote working. Crime is average for the locality. These factors should be weighed alongside the flat’s strong renovation and garden.

It will suit buyers prioritising a ready-to-live-in property with outdoor space, while those needing fast broadband or top-rated secondary schools should check suitability first.
