I am having to move due to separation. It has been a horrible year.
We live in a nice house and it sold quite easily. I am very lucky to have some equity to put towards my onward house with a mortgage. It has been hard finding a good house as the property prices went crazy. I went to see a house that had been on the market for a while, but had recently come down in price to within my budget. Standard 3 bed 40's semi. Nice area. A bit unloved and dark, but it had a very overgrown garden etc.
I put an offer in which was accepted.
The process has been ticking along and have just gone for a second viewing to measure up and I came away so so miserable. Despite it being a beautiful day it's dark, needs so much work in the garden and expensive work in the living areas to make it brighter (walls and windows to add/move). Neighbours dog was barking the minute we went in the garden.
I thought I could live with it, but I don't know if I can. The house just makes me feel sad.
There is little else on the market, but there are 2 potentials which have come on since I offered on this...different compromises maybe, both chain free though. I know I probably will have to walk away won't I?
I don't really know why I am posting. Is it going to be a major issue?
Surveys are booked for end September. Solicitors are instructed I am not sure if the searches have started yet.
My buyer is not in a chain so I am hoping they are happy to wait a bit longer...
Anyone else been in a similar situation who can hold my hand for the day?!
