There are some good things about the flat- the space, layout, access to public transport are all very good. But you need to know that it overlooks a main road which takes some getting used to. It's only a 10 minute walk to the centre of Clapham with plenty of bars restaurant and shops. All very handy.
But there is no getting away from the fact that it needs a visit from a plumber, an electrician and somebody with a toolkit.
