What does “pre-war” mean on this page?

It’s a proximity filter tied to the M21 bus route. Before touring, confirm the walk time you expect and whether the stop you use is in the direction you commute most.

How is the building rating shown here calculated?

The page reflects 3.4/5 across 179 rated buildings. Ratings are a signal, but you should still verify unit-specific details directly with the building or managing agent.

What should I ask about in a pre-war building before applying?

Ask about heating reliability, hot water performance, insulation/window condition, pest history disclosures (if relevant), and whether any renovations were permitted and documented.
