In case of fire there was a set of step ladders that would give access to the roof space and from there, of course in the dark, out to the roof by way of a velux skylight! What a very great load of rubbish ( I could have used other words, I should have done so, but...) and I told the tenant so! Back to the flat; it was a reasonable 'buy' in this difficult market, but as I said to my Client, someone will have to kick the Management Company's backside to get things done.
