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.
13–23 years old; whether the 5-storey blocks have lifts needs on-site verification
Remaining leasehold tenure needs confirmation
Larkin reads as an older part of town and is not a first choice for the high-end market
Dated facilities and limited appreciation potential
