Soldato
As I am in the final stages of divorce and we will be selling our family home, I will be looking for a new place to Live.
I really couldn't afford a detached house like we have now so will have to settle for either a small terrace house or a flat.
I really don't want anything that requires work as my health is against that and money too. So, I have been trying to decide if a flat would be good? I will be buying, no mortgage. Not a big budget.
Two things put me off a flat. One is the maintenance cost that one has to pay early and the other, noise! Noise from all sides!
Do new flats come soundproofed these days? Is the yearly maintenance a lot? Anyone been in this position that can offer some advice please? Living in South Wales so house prices are not like London!
What I like about a flat is all on one level. No garden to worry about and hopefully if newish, no big jobs to worry about.
Thanks
