How far are you willing to stretch yourself for your dream house?

I have seen a house I really want.

It's not quite the right time to move, we don't quite have enough money, the mortgage payments would be a stretch and I am in between chemotherapy and surgery so it's not ideal in terms of my focus either!

And we live in Italy, so it's not really easy to sell/buy from afar.

But oh I want it! Is there a magic fairy service who can do everything for me who I don't have to pay a huge amount to that will just make it happen? (find me a mortgage, do up my house to sell which is currently tenanted, sort solicitors out etc?)

My (very rich through hard work but also through London property) uncle has always said to stretch yourself as far as you can to get the best property as it always pays off...

Really trying to get out of Streatham... but would consider it if the house was amazing (like your first link) - those houses are nice but still only about 150 sq bigger than our current place, so feels like we are spending quite a lot more money to get not much more space and not out of Streatham!

Sorry not trying to be negative!

Have found this though - what do you reckon?

Lovely. That area is also great with some good schools with tight catchment areas. Great transport links. Better area than house 1.
