Anyone regretted buying a house?

[IMayBeSomeTime]

And did you come round in the end or did you always hate it?

We have just exchanged contracts and I think we have made a terrible mistake. Didn't love the house but thought it was probably the best we could do on our budget. Having seen a few things that have come up subsequently I'm no longer sure that is true.

Bitterly regretting it at the moment, but have lived in our current place for a long time and not great with change, so wondering whether it's all part of the process.

V grateful for any experiences.

Well, all I can say is try buying a flat! With a house at least on the whole
you do not have a financial involvement with the other owners .
It is a real pain.
Houses nearly always go up more than flats (historically)
so I would rather buy a less than perfect house for a while until I could finally get the house I wanted.
