Not a bad theory. The apartments being built look like a high end top spec, so can safely assume they will charge top dollar rental. If they are put up for sale, who would want to live there? Views of the Butttery Caff and slight sea views at the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine that there won’t be much light, as well as sea views. Shitehawks, pigeons and lots of dog shit in the back alleys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice to have a view but providing the area can be made interesting, like developments elsewhere, it shouldn't be a deal breaker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they may be aimed more as investments for the rental market, but even then such things will affect value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine once one plant hire company does that there won’t be any others queuing up to replace equipment unless you have cash upfront.

Plenty on promenade with views & once newsons get developed you will get views & convenience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
