Property: Best flats on sale in Dumbarton and the Vale

Starting with the most obvious, flats are generally more affordable than houses, and require a smaller deposit. This makes flats a more accessible option for first-time buyers, and a great stepping stone for single buyers.

And because flats are smaller, they’re easier to manage — which is great for first-time buyers who have less experience with property maintenance. Having a one-floor property is also much easier to clean, which might suit buyers with a busy lifestyle.

Many flats are sold on a leasehold basis, which means you can rest easy knowing the maintenance of the building is someone else’s responsibility.
