The maths

Its no secret that with only 46 years on lease most normal lenders will not lend.
So cash invest it.
£100,000 invested (if can buy for guide)
Rent: £13200 (based on asking rental for same flat few doors down)

46 years means over £600k income
Take out your £100k with saving account interest over first 8 years

Leaves £500k, yes half a million for not doing anything
