I have been looking at houses, and completely fallen in love with a house that is actually a listed building (Grade II). Is it really worth the hassle and should we look elsewhere? Is it going to be a money pit?
From what I remember with Grade II buildings it's just the exterior you have to preserve... is that right? Or would there be restrictions on the interior too?
The house is in lovely condition- we really wouldn't be doing anything inside anyway, but I'm just worried about selling it in the future as it really won't be a forever house (DH does not believe in such things ) more likely we'll be there about 7-10 years or so.
It is very late Georgian if that helps.
Please come and tell me the good, the bad, and the ugly about living in, maintaining, and then re-selling Listed properties!
