| Comment | Practically every tenement building in the city would cost a cool half a million to bring up to the standards of a new building. They're old and past their design lives, and anyone who buys a tenement flat should be aware of these kinds of costs appearing (particularly if the roof hasn't been repaired since they were all done in the 80s, because that's the lifespan of the tiles).
But in reality, the stuff that *actually* needs done (usually the roof and some stonework) will be about 20% of that bill, it sounds like they're recommending masses of utterly unnecessary stuff. |
