Dear all, I own a flat which occupies the upper floor of a property. The flat below is owned by the council which, as the most recent tenant has left, the council have offered to sell to us (inc the freehold of the entire property). I expect to receive the council's valuation in the next few weeks. Now, I doubt we could ever afford to buy it even if I wished to. But, I wondered whether anyone had experience of this kind of situation and whether there were any particular pitfalls that I should be aware of. Is buying from the council the same as buying privately - will the council massively over-value? Thank you for looking at my very hypothetical situation. Bug
