A range of art deco and modernist flats are currently on the market in Glasgow, London, Hove, and Radlett, according to Guardian Property. The properties feature distinctive architectural styles and are located in both city and coastal settings.

In Glasgow, The Beresford, originally built in 1938 as a hotel for the Empire Exhibition and converted into 112 apartments in 2006, has a fifth-floor flat for sale.

The building offers a concierge service and is situated on Sauchiehall Street, an area that has undergone major regeneration. The asking price is £143,000.

In Clapton, London, the Strand Building, constructed in 1925 and converted into flats seventy years later, has a second-floor flat available.
