You could buy London flat with a yard & parking for £165k – but there’s a catch | The Sun

A LONDON flat with its own garden and parking space has caused a stir for a strange reason.  

The one-bedroom property hit the market recently for just £165,000, but prospective tenants should be prepared for a serious catch.  


The flat in South Norwood is described as a “one-bedroom investment property” that is located within a three-storey building.

Situated close to Norwood Junction and Selhurst railway stations it has excellent access to public transport.

And according to relators, the flat is more than £100,000 cheaper than the average house price for the area, making it a steal.

However, one major catch is that you are only able to view the flat externally.
