Anyone else regret their house choice? I stupidly went along with partner because he liked the house …I wasn’t so keen. Yes…I accepted it had potential but I just didn’t love it. I listened to my head not my heart. Thought I’d grow to love it. Been here 7 months so far…and I’m just so down about it. I can’t really see many positives. Yes…if we had unlimited funds, we could do a lot to it but we don’t. The kitchen is tiny… needs an extension ( minimum of 50k). There are drainage issues ( costing 1000’s). I feel it’s a money pit and it’s so depressing. Plus I just miss the area I lived in
before soooo much. There were no houses available when we sold…and I stupidly looked on Rightmove the other day and saw THE PERFECT HOUSE for sale. I cry behind closed doors at the thought of what we could’ve had. How long do we stay here to give it a chance? I’m wondering if I should say let’s give it 3 years and if I don’t live it by then can we think about selling? And not sure how much to do to it in the meantime. Seems silly planning to get an extension done just to sell up…unless it increased the value by at LEAST the same amount we spent on it. Bought for 440k. Extension would be 50k minimum…plus other stuff we’ve had to have done ( probably about 5k)… we’d need to sell it for 500k +… then there’s stamp duty and moving costs. I WISH I’d never bought this house…😢
