Comparing one block of wildly overpriced apartments (Vantage Heights) with another block of wildly overpriced apartments (FH Central) serves little purpose. Neither will sell at current asking prices.

The comparison needs to be between the prices/facilities on offer at FH Central with what you can buy in other parts of SE23.

FH Central has one upside for those who want that sort of thing - it is very close to the railway station. On the downside, the flats are cramped and offer highly restricted parking. Most are single aspect
(there are one set of windows pointing in one direction) which causes problems of ventilation and light. And, let's be honest - the block is not sited in one of SE23's most attractive areas.

For the asking price of a restricted one-bedroom FH Central flat without parking, you can buy an attractive spacious two-bedroom flat with parking elsewhere in SE23. And for the price of a two bedroom flat you can purchase a house locally!

Why would anyone in their right mind pay the prices currently being asked?

Well virtually no-one in truth. And Berkeley Homes almost admit as much in their Appeal statement:

"The Appelant (BH) has been marketing the Appeals site since October 2007, but received a limited interest..."

It's Emperor's New Clothes time. These units will only move if they are reduced by ?80-?100,000 a time. And even then, it's going to be a hard sell.

Hopefully, the Appeal will fail. It's a total diversion from the real problems facing this site.
