We are first time buyers. We currently rent and have viewed a house today.
Its £300,00 and needs around £60,000 spending on it.
Its a lot of money even though we could afford it. Dh really wants it as its been his dream to renovate his own home rather than buy a home thats already been renovated to someone elses tastes.
I feel that as first time buyers buying a house needing £60,000 on it is out of our depth.
I dont want to live in a bomb site whilst things are getting done and also once you start renovating you can find all sorts of hidden problems.
Dh wants to do some of the work himself but i feel hes too busy with work and then it wont get done but he assures me he will find time.
We will have to get trades people to do some of the work.
There is nothing in the area that needs work doing that is such a big house.
The area if great with very good local schools etc
