Every week a Guardian Money reader submits a question, and it’s up to you to help him or her out – a selection of the best answers will appear in next Saturday’s paper.
This week’s question:
My daughter, 27, has asked our help in buying a studio flat in London for £250,000. My problem is not lending the money, but whether a 15ft by 12ft studio flat is really liveable for more than a very short time. How have other readers got on with studio flats? Should she wait and save for a one-bed flat?
