Having a nightmare trying to find a flat. There just doesn't seem to be anything (in our price range). We have seen somewhere lovely which is very big but only has two bedrooms. It is actually bigger than a lot of the three beds we have looked at but I would rather have three smaller bedrooms (no opportunity to convert as it is a basement flat so middle bedroom would be windowless).
The living area is really lovely and is mostly conservatory. It is one of those lower ground flats that has been made the best of but I'm not sure you can ever escape the fact that it is essentially underground (sort of).
The garden literally has QPR stadium in it. I actually wouldn't mind this terribly (not fussed about noise, willing to see it as a quirk) but I am concerned about how this will affect the resale value. It is probably the only reason that this place is affordable to us so I guess that makes sense. But it also has a North facing garden. The estate agent (obviously) insists that it gets plenty of light. There aren't any buildings for a long stretch either side blocking the east or west and the house is only two storeys so I guess not too bad blocking from the South. But I just can't decide. It is so hard to know as there is no sun at the moment. There isn't anything growing in the garden but they have very temporary renters in at the moment so maybe that is the reason? The next door neighbours have got plenty of stuff growing (haven't spoken to them yet) but that might be from laborious effort and careful selection.
The garden is quite big and obviously contributes a lot to the cost. I don't want to be shelling out for a big garden when it is going to be dark and dingy all the time.
What do you think?
