My partner and I are looking to purchase a house together, but cant decide on what to buy. Ideally we would like a 4 bed detached but finances wont stretch to this.
My partner has two dd's aged 6 (who he see's every other weekend) and I have a dd aged 7 and a ds aged 4. My partner would prefer a 4 bed semi so that his dd's get a bedroom to themselves. I however would prefer a 3 bed detached and have all the girls share, which they prefer to do when they sleep at my partners house (he has a 4 bed house and my dd has her own room when we stay).
My partner is concerned that as the girls grow up they will want more space and wont want to share. I think if we buy a house with an attached garage that we could easily convert the garage into a bedroom for either my dd or his dd's or even convert the lost if money allows.
I personally think a detatched house would have a greater selling value than a semi. We also have an active (and noisy, when we dont have the children)!!!! sex life and I think this would become very limited in a semi, as most semi's are mirror image and bedrooms back on to one another.
Would really appreciate any view/comments.
Thanks
