Where I live, there are lots of new flatblocks being built, with maybe 30+ flats in each, really cool and nice, great standard, lots of seafront apts.
most of them sold 1 year+ before being finished, sell way fast !!!!
Big demand for flats as people are selling out on their detached houses, targeting flats which are way less maintenance intensive and may serve for a higher standard of living
No garden to fix, no roof to maintain and upgrade, not needing to paint walls, the necessary maintenance outsourced to 3rd party....
