We are first time buyers, will be looking to buy in 2016, but we aren't sure if we should focus on a new build or older home.
Have you had good/bad/neutral experiences with a new build? Just found out an acquaintance - whose house is less than a year old - had her stairs collapse! I can't envision that happening in the Victorian ex-vicarage home I have been eyeing.
We won't have a lot of spare cash for repairs and redecorating an older home, though. Not for a good few years, at least. Husband wants a house we can live comfortably in as soon as possible. (The vicarage will need work but it's got miles of potential)
Argh. I'm rambling. This is a huge decision and I feel conflicted.
