Bargain Housing Opportunity

There's a flat currently on the market for a bargain price of £170,000. It is in Kensington, London so this is a cheap price.
There are two explanations for this exceptional offer. It is estimated that at least £30,000 must be spent to get the flat into a habitable state. Secondly this 'flat' is in fact a janitor's storeroom. It is the size of a snooker table. Just an illustration of the sad state of the property market in London.
Another example comes from a conversation recently overheard at a bus stop in Hackney. A young woman was on her mobile to her father.
'How wide is an average double bed?'
'OK - I thought so. I've just been to see a loft conversion. The bedroom is 14 feet long by 5 feet five inches wide.'
'No - it won't work'
'No I'm not having a single bed.'
'Well, because I'm not sleeping in a single bed, Dad.'
'No really I'm not going to, whatever you say.'
The joys of eavesdropping - pure serendipity!
