Hi all
Brief overview ...
Looking to buy private home from the open market 3 k below market price 120 k due to the tidying / decorative works needing doing ( house was previously let to tenants who turned loft into cannabis farm . (Plz read previous thread)
Could not locate electric meter etc however vendor has agreed to complete safety electrical check at there cost. I have attached some pics of loft as I am really in two minds on how to move forward.
As an aside I have a second option. I currently rent a housing association property and have done since 2010. I am eligible for right to buy 3 bed house. Value 69 k with discount However I haven’t persued this Avenue for a number of reasons.
Kitchen - incredibly tiny would have to extend out
Bathroom - needs full refit think 80 s suite In situ
Neighbours- noisy with 2 large dogs which bark in house all day and night
Poor sound insulation I can hear neighbours receive a text / break wind/ stack plates
Damp- mould permeated all over property ha will NOT repair this
Is especially bad In child’s bedroom
I need some guidance moving forward
I really want to own my own home time is not on my side however if this sale falls through there is nothing on open market I can afford ( care worker)
Plz wise ones guide me through this ❤️Tia

I just want somewhere where I can be close to amenities (shops, transport etc)
Chances of an exchange are slim and it’s well known in the area that most properties in the road have a chronic mouse infestation.

Mice in the HA street would be a dealbreaker.

It’s to do with the surrounding underground tunnel and fields every winter we get mice ...
new house (growup) no evidence of critters fingers crossed not even in loft
