Hubby and I are looking to buy a new property. We saw a nice 3 bed semi-detached house with a 150ft garden. It looks ordinary but when you go on google earth there is a massive structure in the garden that turns out to be a 6m x 12m (20ft x40ft) enclosed swimming pool.

Am I unreasonable to discount looking at this property straight away? I’m more worried about it not being easy to sell if we had to move in the future.

BTW it costs an absolute fortune to fill them in. Thinks tens of thousands

I think it's being filled with water, not liquid gold!

If it's your forever home, buy it and have fun. If Covid taught us anything, it was not to over plan or overthink.

Fill them in as in with concrete, not fill them up 😂

I meant hardcore not water!

Sounds amazing. Especially with lack of holidays right now.

I’d love a pool. It would be a selling point to me, especially with that large a garden

Update: after a long back and forth our offer has been accepted. We have booked surveyors and a separate survey from a pool expert. He mentioned that a pool of this size would cost over £175k to build from scratch so we should think about that when deciding what to do depending on his report. Apparently they will dive into the pool to look for damage like cracks to tiles. We were told that pools last forever if built correctly. This one has been going for 30years which means if anything needs refurbishing it would be the tiles where they are damaged. So if the survey shows all of us in good order it will be a matter of the running costs. If all is not well then we will decide whether to spend the money refurbishing or getting rid of it.

There is no way we could ever afford to build such a thing from scratch. I had no idea they were that expensive.

No explanation as to why the pool wasn’t prominent in the listing.

Congratulations!

Wow! Do you have kids? If so, bet they're ecstatic :) Congratulations 🏊🏻‍♀️🏖
