Hello,
Our landlord has offered to sell us the house we are currently renting. Bit of background, she lives in Spain and has no plans of moving back to the UK. DH and I love the house however it’s a 2 bed and we are planning to start a family soon so we’ll outgrow it pretty quickly. We’ve planned to convert the loft into a 3rd bedroom if we do end up buying.
The issue is the cost, it’s in a well sought after location, big garden, close to train station and quiet tree lined street. Landlord sent us Zoopla estimate which is £379-£463k bearing in mind budget is £340k. The 2 bed house next door with a slightly similar but smaller floorplan is on for £325 and after some googling, I discovered our house was actually on the market in 2018 at £425k so it seems like we might be punching above our weight here but we really love the location as it’s potentially going to be a great investment and this is our main reason for even considering the offer
Do you think we should go for it?
What would be the first step for a FTB to proceed? Has anyone here had or heard of similar experience? Please share
The house is in the South East btw.
Thanks all
