Yes it’s very common type of flat in Scotland, contained in these buildings of 4-8 flats usually. They’re often Victorian or Edwardian and the Victorian ones particularly can be really spacious with high ceilings and depending on the building and preservation, can have amazing ornate plasterwork and ceiling roses, like Kate’s. A two bedroom flat can be up to 100sqm.
Depending on the area in Glasgow they can be quite affordable or at least have been, but they’re still more expensive than some more generic suburban houses with drives and private garden etc. For me choosing a tenement is a lifestyle choice and a preference, but some people would think people like me are mad for paying that much for a flat. So you either find them charming or you don’t. And to be frank you either have the money or you don’t.
I don't have tik tok, what kind of comments are there? Is it it people astounded that tenements cost that much
Yeah people saying they wouldn’t want to live in MF (but it’s perfectly nice? And anywhere near QP is popular rn) or that they can get a house with a garage for that much somewhere else, but also people speculating it will go for 250 (which just wouldn’t happen because the HR is 220 and it’s not gonna go for just 15% over)
The face of a lady whose flat sold for more than 300k, probably
And yes at least Glasgow is still so much cheaper than Edinburgh, London, Brighton, Bristol etc! And it’s fair of Kate to have pointed that out before even though most people couldn’t afford to get on the ladder without family
people who don’t like tenements or haven’t bought one recently have no idea
