Buyers should budget for combined mortgage, rent and service charges and confirm eligibility criteria for shared ownership if purchasing a share.
Practical considerations: heating is electric via room heaters rather than gas central heating, so running costs can be higher than gas-heated homes.

The block was built 2007–2011 and is double-glazed; glazing install dates are not specified.
