Thinking of moving. Our house has a lot of positive features including location and significant outside space, stables etc. In a rural situation but still easy access to shops, motorway airport etc. No neighbours. However it's an old house and there were a number of things on our list to do. It does however have a new woodburner, recently fitted oak flooring and a brand new bathroom with underfloor heating. Lots going for it and overall in very good condition even though it's c300 years old.
Windows - c20 year old aluminium. Double glazed but condensation issues. Will cost us £10k to replace.
Garage - had an ugly but useable double garage. We keep both our cars in it. But it's a total eyesore. Options are to leave, demolish or replace, again probably £10k.
Septic tank. Needs replaced. c£5k.
Kitchen is bearable at a cosmetic level, has a smeg hob/oven. Hand painted cupboards but they are quite old and it's a bit tatty.
Most rooms have been re-painted and will do them all if not. Obviously do the major de-clutter, outside tidy up etc. Which of the above big things would put you off buying rather than be just a price negotiation; or which would you not notice if we'd spent the money or not?
