We are moving to Geneva in a couple of months and have been offered a house that one of DH's colleagues is moving out of shortly. We cannot decide whether to take it or not.
Positive points:
It is within our budget, which is saying something for Geneva which tends to be really expensive.
School/nursery is 1.6km away.
Big garden (again unusual for Geneva)
Nice area
Granny flat in the cellar with own bathroom
good sized living room and bathroom.
And the negatives:
Kitchen is ancient and a bit grotty
Bathroom stuck in the 70s
Grass very mossy and yucky
Upstairs bedrooms have wooden ceilings so a bit dark
I have not seen the house myself, DH said at first definately not due to the state of the house. Now we are unsure as it will probably be the only chance to get a house rather than a flat. With 2 DCs 4 and 6 that is a big positive for us.
What do you think?
