I wasn't either. It will almost certainly be demolished - even if the
structure is still sound. I doubt many would want to live in a building

There are plenty of examples around where it is more cost effective to
start afresh than do major alterations to the structure.


Once its pulled down they can sell the land for a profit.


And then pay even more for the land needed to replace it. It is already at
the 'cheap' end of K&C.
