Me and my partner have been looking for a house in a particular area for over 12 months, with very little luck. We have offered on several properties, but because there is high demand and a shortfall of properties - people are often paying 20-30K more than something is on the market for and we just can't complete.
Anyway, we went to see a property last week, on the market shy of 170K, and in order to be in with a chance of having our offer accepted, we offered 178K - which was accepted (yay!).
However, now I am having second thoughts. I think we offered to much, and I am not sure I love it, and feel there is lots of work to be done. I showed a family member who's opinion I value a lot and he ripped it apart.
I just don't know what to do - there are definitely pros, and it is an upcoming area (people are climbing over themselves to live in this area) - but I don't know if I loved it when I first saw it - I think the fact that it is an end-terrace is putting me off.
I guess I am looking for advice? For context, me and my partner are first time buyers and currently rent (which is something I want to get out of ASAP).
Here is the property....www.julianwadden.co.uk/property-details/STP190501/greater-manchester/sk3/torkington-street?page=1&instruction_type=Sale&address_keyword=Edgeley&minprice=&maxprice=&property_type=&showstc=1&showsold=0
