Re: Lighthouse Apartments
Hello
They are being built by Collen Construction I think, they had the planning permission on the site to develope office space previously (possibly still do), but did not proceed due to slowdown in the office space market, as far as I know.
Are there any tax breaks with them ?
Assuming the answer is not, then I'd not be overly attracted to them myself. While the location is convenient to town etc, I think you may be able to acquire a house in the East Wall for similar money ... offering you more peace than a ground floor apartment, possibly more space & perhaps more solid internal walls etc. Also, potential for a small garden.
Lots of apartments due to go up in the Docklands over the next couple of years will mean you've a lot of competition if you ever want to rent it out, also can't say I'd expect the apartment to rise at the same rate as a house, in value ... although never say never
As a rule of thumb, if I were looking at an apartment I'd also be looking at one above Ground Floor - less noice, disturbance, higher security etc.
