So far, this self-build isn't looking affordable.
I wonder how many here live in flats, and how you find it affects noise sensitivity etc?

Yes, generally there are age restrictions. But I think it may depend on how long a flat remains vacant. It wouldn't hurt to inquire with management and explain your sensory issues and how you might be an ideal fit for the community despite your age.I thought 55+ was an age restriction for residents? Top floor would be nice for the view, but not for a fear of another Greenfell style scenario. One reason I'll never live anywhere with gas central heating. Might as well live in a house with a WW2 bomb in my mind.

I Live in a house, always have even as a child, took awhile to figure out what flat was .
I think it's the same thing.Is a flat the same thing as an "apartment" in the U.S. or is it slightly different?
What sort of self-build were you thinking of @Raggamuffin?
It'd be relying on a company to do the build as I have no training or experience in such matters.
A flat is the only thing that'd be affordable at this point. There's occasionally a terrace house available at the upper end of my price budget.
Our last house was 1930's and noise from neighbours was bad. We rented a new build semi-detached before then and it had much better soundproofing.
I guess if I do go for a flat, I need to look for a newer one, as others have said. No way of predicting how neighbours will be though.
