Having saved a decent deposit and got mortgage approval a few months ago, I have been looking at houses (and flats). It's awkward as I can't do physical viewing due to the Covid restrictions but it seems people are buying houses without viewing them first.
There is a house that would suit me as it's in the right area, has outdoor space and what the estate agent describes as a garage (it might hold an original Fiat 500 or an original Mini. Would hold a few bikes though!).
It's been on the market for quite a while really, I'm tempted to make enquiries. My concern is that it has a flat roof (I assume felt). It just makes me wary of it as they don't have a great reputation.
Is a flat roof really something to be concerned about? Walking around the outside, it looks like the fascia board is newish so maybe it was replaced or worked on in the not to distant past.
