Victorian vs new build

[collywobble]

Just asking for what your thoughts are on these two different properties . I'm trying to weigh up the pluses and minuses of the two when deciding on which property to put an offer on .

Large 6 bedroom end terrace huge rooms all nicely decorated new carpets kitchen and bathroom with the potential to convert the large cellar for additional living and a garage and off street parking

Large 6 bedroom detached fairly new build on a quiet private estate with double garage , smaller rooms but more modern feel, nice kitchen , nice bathrooms again , needs new carpets but slightly nicer area with the potential to convert the double garage for additional living.

The new build is empty but so no chain but costs 40k more but the Victorian terrace has a seller who hasn't yet found a property who will be part of a chain .

I need to move out of my rented property by the end of June .

What would you do ? Help !

Victorian every time.

Does it not have open fires?

Lived in a Victorian villa and it was bloody fabulous. But crap area.

Now live in a 1930s detached which I love but I'd have stayed in the Victorian villa in a heartbeat if the area could have been improved.

You really do need to know the totalsquare footage of both!

That's a fair point Mamma I assume that the estate agents can give me that information as at the moment I don't even have a floor plan to look at in the Victorian one which is annoying when comparing the two .

It has gas fires and wood burners

The sq metres are also given on the EPC if the estate agent is cagey/unprofessional.

Thanks to the person who linked to the cellar thread. That’s an enjoyable hour of my life gone 👍
