In our preferred location there are currently only 2 houses on the market that meet our criteria and fit in our budget.
One is a new build nice house but semi detached smallish rooms and small garden.
Other is a detached house nice house bigger than new build with a decent size garden and good room sizes with a tiny bit of cosmetic decorating needed. Price is the same as new build. We both had our hearts set on this house before even viewing the house.
I went to view the house yesterday without DH as he was working. The house was lovely, perfect for us BUT the house smelt. I can’t put my finger on what it smelt of but it had quite a strong smell.
DH said when he returned that I also smelt, I didn’t notice this but noticed this morning my coat now smells of the viewed house. Actually not smells more like absolutely stinks.
What is the smell? And why does my clothes smell of the house? Is this a huge red flag? It’s so frustrating as I can’t put my finger on what it is.
