Hi
Looking to offload and perhaps get some advice
My DS and fiance are buying a house.
They've been looking for almost a year and been outbid several times.
They usually request I or my DS future MIL to veiw with them for an alternative perspective and advice as they haven t purchased before.
We all veiwed a house 2 nights ago.My DS and future DIL had veiwed by themselves evening before and they were returning for second veiwing. ( MIL there too,all 4 of us)
I arrived late and was in a rush.
The house is beautiful inside, very high quality fixtures.
I made some relevant comments re the garden size and sun in garden ( small and no sun- both important to them ).I asked if they knew the area, local schools, shops etc??? (had they had a wander around)as its well outwith the location they had been wanting to buy in.( they hadn t )
I don t know the location at all, however my first impression was I did t really like the area ;driving out of the location confirmed my gut instinct.
When we left I required to drive off quickly as I was in someone's parking space and they were waiting to park.So no opportunity to speak about the house.
On drive home I reflected on the house and I didn t like it.Various reasons that I feel are important to my DS and future DIL ,they ve been sharing their aspirations for a house for a while and this house ,despite being lovely inside didn t meet their usual criteria.
By the time I arrived home and contacted DS to discuss the house ,they had made up their mind they really loved it.
I didn t want to burst their bubble; they were so excited about it.
I really feel they ve been blindsided by the beautiful interior.
DS has informed me previously that he thinks I m too negative and need to lighten up;so of late I always try to be upbeat and positive around him.
Future MIL appeared to love the house as did they, so I went along with it; pretending to love it too.
Today I ve had a drive past as its been on my mind.
I was hoping to like it a bit better and see the building and location in a better light.
Unfortunately not.
It's looking ,in my eyes awful.
I feel very guilty as they ve now made an offer on the house which has been accepted.
They offered way over asking price for fear of losing out.
I think the area, the building exterior appears awful and I think they ve been blindsided by the interior of the house.
The location of the house is nowhere near where they had originally wanted to live either .
I m now racked with guilt that I wasn t fully honest with my thoughts.
I do feel they ll regret purchasing .
I don t want to say anything now as everyone else seems to be very excited for them that they ve finally bought somewhere.
Advice on what to do???
Should I speak up ???
