We're currently looking to upsize from a flat to a house, NE London. I've found 2 properties on almost identical roads. £130k difference between the two. One has a loft conversion, back and garage extension. It's a 4 bed with tons of space, all high spec and could easily be our family home until we die.
The other is a 3 bed, still neat and tidy but with no extensions or work done. We would definitely want to extend and add a 4th bedroom at some point.
WWYD? Lots of people have said go for the house that's finished, no work to do and less stress. We have two under 3's so any major works would be difficult at the moment.
But there's a part of me that wants the blank canvas and to make it OUR home over the next 10 years, rather than moving into someone else's design.
DH is up for the finished product.. but the £130k difference in price also makes me gulp!
Anyone have experience of my position?
