Studio flat on ex-council estate site going for £500k
FLATS being built on the site of a former council estate are going on sale for more than £500,000 each, housing activists revealed yesterday.
A yet-to-be-built studio flat on the grounds of the one-time Heygate Estate in the London borough of Southwark was put on sale online yesterday for £515,000.
The demolition of the estate and its sale to property developers Lend Lease was highly criticised by residents and local campaigners.
