Which House? Help me decide

[Crocodileclip]

DC2 is due next month and our landlord is selling our house so we might have to be out mid August. We need to put an offer in on a house asap.

We have seen two houses. One is on for 135k <a class="break-all" href="//,www.propertynews.com/Property/Lisburn/FDPFDP5705/9-Oxford-Avenue/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">House one has four bedrooms and much more storage space. However it needs a lot of work, mostly decorative but likely to include rewiring. The other is on for 150k, House 2 its smaller, 3 bedrooms, but imaculately done up with a new extension with open plan living, dining, kitchen.

The cheaper house would definitely end up being more expensive in the long term but would always have the extra space. The more expensive house would be easier in the short term, especially with a new baby.

Any thoughts?

I do think you should be keeping your options open if neither of them really grab you Crocodile Go with a negative head on tonight, rather than being over keen and see what comes up in the Pros and Cons.

I hope I'm not putting a spanner in the works. This one might be SSTC or it might not be in the right area of something, but I liked the look of it and it definitely seems to have potential as the years go on

House 2. move in, live your lives.
I would never take on another doer-upper ever again. They always cost more than you think and are never properly finished ime.
