House or a flat

[mickey]

Hey dudes

What's more practical for a family with a toddler: a house or a flat and why. This is fairly central London we are talking about, so size-wise flats ate OK, while houses lack gardens and bedrooms but have the upstairs

Come down, caffeine's on me. I am much interested to hear your opinion on advantages of flats compared to houses for young families.

A flat will normally be on a Lease. ie You don't own it, managment will cost you a fortune.

A house is better because you can leave the little one to run amok in the garden and be savaged by foxes.

A flat will usually have less stairs for them to fall down.

So it's swings and roundabouts really.

A house is definitely a much better investment. Once you have four of them, you can trade them in for a hotel.

safe outdoor space is important. Shared if you will get on with the neighbours.

I have always preferred houses, no lease, no management fees, no management committee.

My only flat was a pain because no one wanted to pay anything to maintenance. I managed to sell it before the outside needed repainting saved me a few £K in a big block.

Strictly speaking, for a further investment you can trade up to a hotel from four houses, but a good point nonetheless.
