We are just about to spend £60k ish creating a lovely garden room with woodburner and shower room in our 4 bed terraced garden/ ground floor flat in the west end of Edinburgh. We bought at the height of the market and probably wouldn't make it back, plus have already spent money on it.
We have 3 boys and I have always fantasised about spare bedroom/ big hall (spoilt I know) so whilst I love our flat it was really bought as a 5 year plan 3 years ago with a view to buying a house eventually. Then the market spiralled.
This house is literally directly opposite the school my ds1 goes to and the others will follow (currently have a v hectic 1hr round trip school run for school/nursery). It is in a pretty run down street in a not as nice location as current flat, although lovely boutiquey street at end of this one - current location much nicer.
But oh I do love it. Inside track at estate agent says needs £150+ spent on it. If we sold well we would end up pretty much equal. But that is a big if. I have a new baby and don't know if I could handle the stress of marketing our flat. Plus I have a very reactionary and cautious dh who would probably veto outright.
The basement is not included in this sale. Wwyd?
