AIBU to ask you which house you'd buy?

[Algor1thm]

A - small house, fairly recently refurbished, average to poor schools, 25 min commute to work, high end of budget

B - small house, recently refurbished to a high standard, good schools, 30 min commute to work, middle of budget

C - medium sized house, liveable but decor a little tired, good schools, 25 min commute to work, low end of budget

D - medium sized house, liveable but decor a little tired, average schools, 10 min commute to work, middle of budget

Which of these factors is most important to you and your family?

C
-priority for me is good schools
-not too far to work
-budget to decorate house as you want it
-medium sized house so you don’t need to move house as kids get bigger
-low end of budget so you’re not overstretched and stressed about it

But as someone said, is it in a good area?

C

the best schools available is almost always the answer.

In order C then D a close second, then B a distant third but too small but avoids work can move again

can't think why A is on list as all criteria are the worst; most expensive with worst schools and same commute

C

C

C or d
When you say small or medium . How many square feet ? I wouldn’t want a really small house . Also avoid open plan .

I mean all open plan. Open plan kitchen and living is ok if you have another living room.

C, easily. Although you say A and B have recently been updated, is this cosmetic only?

age of wiring, central heating, windows and roofing are something I factor in and could swing me a different way

C. In the current crisis it wouldnt be bad to spend as little as possible. Improvements can be done later when and if there are savings. Plus, good schools

With that little info I would go for c. But there has to be a reason why the bigger house c is cheaper than a, beyond the decorative state. Is it a reason that is important to you?

Not A.

C

C all day long

C

B or C. Good schools is non-negotiable. Probably C given the current economic situation

c

C every single time, no contest.

I’d say C.
bigger house, (tired decor can be updated as and when)
good school. Reasonable commute.

C, maybe B. Nobody is going to pick A are they.

D, C, B, A

C

Or C top... missed the good schools!

C. No question about it. I would never buy a house that had been refurbished/redecorated, though. Schools would also be a major thing for me.
