We viewed 2 houses on Saturday and we still can't decide where to go from here. Both are 2beds with big bedrooms. Ex council(175k) is on a cul de sac and has a bigger lounge diner with garden facing onto countryside. All neighbours are privately owned too. The other is also a 2 bed bungalow (ÂŁ215k) on a cul de sac. It's considered more desirable bse there are no LA houses to be seen. Garden is terraced which puts DH off. It also has a garage and off road parking. I'm in the mind that ex council can't be that bad, cheaper mortgage, we can extend to loft and to garden but then we might also exceed the ceiling price for the road if we spend too much. The bungalow will probably go for close to asking price leaving us with a higher mortgage debt with not much left over to create extra space(neighbours have extended into loft). We would like to stay for at least 10yrs so the decision we make now is rather a nervous process for us. Am I over thinking this? 1st time buyer nerves
