A bit of a subjective Q but any thoughts would be welcome.
We have been searching our local area for nearly a year now for a new property. We can find a brilliant house in a mediocre school catchment area but I want a house in a good school catchment. Cat have both without adding an extra 30k on to our budget which is not possible.
DH and I love our house. Its a semi on a popular residential road within good secondary and primary catchments. Its too small though. We want to do a loft and/or rear extension and have had quotes.
One little thing bothering me though - for the last 6 months, every week or a couple of days a week for a few random hours or continuing all through the night ( i was very disturbed until 5am one bad night), DH and i can hear and feel quite a noticeable vibration in our bedroom and DCs bedroom. We think it is a dehumidifier running but maybe the machine is a bit faulty.
It drives me batsh*t crazy (im a bit intolerant) and it only annoys DH a little bit.
We will be ploughing a hefty bit our our own cash and will have to borrow if we do both.
Im feeling so on the fence as i love this house but dont want to spend several tens of thousands if my neighbours buzzing gets worse or starts to affect my enjoyment of my house. DH doesnt think its bad enough to mention. I dont want to start any atmosphere. Neighbours are ok. Polite hello but no more than that and Im fine about that level of contact.
Really not sure what to do.
