Hi there, my second thread on a similar subject sorry! But I'm getting very confused and need some objective views please!
DH and I are first time buyers, we have a small deposit, been looking for a year and finally settled on an area in Surrey where we can get a great house - rather than closer to London where we'd get a smaller house but a shorter commute. We have an 18 month old DS.
So, the issue is we found a house we love BUT the commute will be 90 mins each way including nursery drops (I think I can manage it, no stranger to long commutes), the house is on a reasonably busy road and there's a row of electricity pylons about 250m from the house.
Are we mad to even consider buying it? It's not cheap and there's been a number of offers so we won't be getting a bargain either...
