Poor single engine ceiling.

This is a serious issue under hot&high conditions but unlikely to be a problem if you only fly in the UK.

One of the essential rules when buying a twin is that it must be capable of a positive rate of climb with the critical engine failed at MTOW at the highest density altitude you are likely to encounter. In South Africa (for example) that means 14000 feet.
