Seen a house that I want

smudgley · 18-03-2006, 10:10 AM

For those of you that don't know - we moved house 18months ago. The plan was to move to a bigger property, but we couldn't find what we wanted in the village so as we had sold our house, we moved into a bungalow.(with potential to extend)

Husband loved it, but I was not keen initially & said I would move here as long as we could move again if I didn't like it after 12 months

. He said ok. But he loves everything about it especially the large garden.
Oh yes & we plan to have an extension this year, plans are done to have an extra 2 bedrooms / dining room / bigger kitchen / office. & a staircase to the loft. But that is going to cost a fortune!

So then yesterday Smudgley spotted a house for sale

.
Everything we wanted when we moved here. Told hubby & he's not having any of it

, but I love the house I've seen & I really want it!!!

OK Rant over.....

Looks like you will have to do some persuading Smudgley!!

I hope you can get Mr Smudgley to change his mind!

Whats the +'s of the other house Smudgley? bigger? better location. And is it loads more expensive? maybe thats what put him off.

You could take the cat runs. And a village location sounds good,

Pluses are ;
it is much bigger / large kitchen / utility / downstairs toilet.
it is all "done" (ie won't have the mess of builders for months)
Location (it's only over the road)

Minuses are;
It is a semi (we are now in a detached)
It has a small garden
there's room for the caravan - but it would be on the front drive (it is currently in the back)

As for price - well it would be cheaper to move there than having the extension done here.

Well I have to say sounds good, not sure about the smaller garden bit though,

have they actually put it up for sale or you've just "heard through the grapevine"

Men tend to be logical beasts so maybe if you sit down & work out the costs of remodeling versus cost of the new house....he might see reason

Not tio mention the awful inconvenience of having workmen banging, hammering & pounding, in & out of the house all the time & the wear & tear on your nerves...!!! Go for it!!
