Sorry if this has already been said.... but was just reading some literature on "Parkway Living".A one bedroom flat, with balcony (53sq metres) will cost upwards of £199,975 .... the kitchen/lounge are combined and referred to as "living area". Who on earth could afford this, or indeed WANT to afford this ?? Think what you could buy elsewhere for that sum !

It also doesn't mention that the 'designated parking' is allocated at 0.75 parking space per property (alright if you have Smart Car....) |

That's what I would have thought too, however it would appear that two of the more expensive units have been reserved. Interesting to watch how this developes. -------------------- Bloggo

Look, there's half a Nordic forest being shipped in to timber clad the 5 storey tower block. They've got to pay for it somehow.

It looks like one of the two potential buyers has dropped out. Only one apartment is reserved at the present. Maybe the prices are too high?
