What I will not hide from you
Every project has weaknesses. An agent not mentioning them does not make them go away — it just means you find out after you have signed. Here is what is actually wrong with this one.
The building is old, and some sources indicate there is no lift (6 storeys, needs verification)
Unit size data varies widely between sources (a 500-2,100 sqft spread is unusually large; verify the specific block and layout on site)
Facilities are basic; not a first choice for capital growth, better suited to steady rental income
