Turns out that it’s possible to buy a 2-bedroom flat in London for less than £100K – but what do you get for your money?
With the average price of a property in London now being over £530,000, Twitter user Sarah Duggers was genuinely amazed to find a listing on RightMove for a property in Thamesmead, SE London, for the bargain price of just £90,000.
Sure, it’s only got 60 years left on the lease, but still – a two bedroom flat in London for that price? A complete steal!
Or maybe not.
Here’s the Tweet with the link to the listing.
Oh lovely! What a shame there's only 60 years left on the lease. https://t.co/SZkFMFjNXY

Did you click on the link? If not, we’ll save you the bother.
It’s fair to say it’s a bit of a ‘doer-upper’.
We shudder to think at what’s gone on in there…
People were less than impressed.

It looks like the mould is the only thing holding the place together.

What on earth has even gone on here to make it look like that? At first glance I thought "fire damage" but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Also, 99 year lease *from new*, so guaranteed to be unmortgageable within 25-30 years? What a scam.— Nodrog's Ices (@NodrogIce) February 26, 2025

Just needs a dust and a lick of paint.

"This property benefits from a communal garden" – which would be a far nicer place to sleep than the actual flat. Has anyone googled yet to see if someone got murdered there? It looks like the sort of place you see on Silent Witness.

There have definitely been no bad murders in that flat.
None at all.

Christ Almighty, did they film Trainspotting in there?

They should put this in the advert.
Go for Thamesmead, end up in Silent Hill.
