DH and I are stuck in a quandary at the moment (and it is causing me to have sleepless nights worrying!).
Would you go for:
A) Our dream home - at absolutely top end of our budget, requiring no extra work and in a lovely area but outside of the catchment for the local 'outstanding' nursery and primary school, but within the catchment of a 'good' local school.
Or
B) Complete project house - cheaper, but requiring probably equivalent cash to get it up to standard (new kitchen, bathrooms, complete redecoration, new roof, garden redesign) - but absolutely within the tiny catchment area of the outstanding school
