Would you??
We've had a rough quote from a gardener and this is the ballpark. We would have to finance it... at least a big chunk of it.
I've lived in my house for over 15 years and the garden has always been pretty rubbish. We have always struggled to know what to do with it. It has a strange plot shape so consists of multiple triangle shapes around the house. We are on a hill as well, so it's on lots of different levels so feels very disjointed.
We have 8 years left on our mortgage (£55k balance)... I think the current rate is currently similar to a personal loan. So, it seems a personal loan is a better way to go??? Seems 'frivolous' to take out a personal loan somehow - but then we would have a horrible garden forevermore otherwise??!
AIBU to just take out a loan as you only live once?!
AIBU?
AIBU to take out a £30k personal loan to revamp our odd garden?

Am I being unreasonable?

Well, if you can afford the repayments and it will make you happy, yes, do it!

That's a lot! How big is the garden? What does the quote include? Is there anything you can do yourselves. Also, will it require a lot of upkeep once done?

I wouldn’t personally.
How old are you and are you ever going to move again?
