So have had an offer on a house accepted. To us it's a lot, and it's going to need work. I'm now panicking we're making a mistake but not sure if it's just nerves.
Positives about the house is that all rooms are big. Even the smallest bedroom is a really good size. Kitchen and living room both 7mx5.5 so again decent sized. There is lots of secure parking great for when the kids have their own cars. Room for DH to have an office and for his hobby which takes up space. The garden has potential but currently very low maintenance. It's not enormous but does go all round the property and the largest bit is south facing. The kids can walk to and from school if necessary. It's also near walks we like so great for our dogs.
I'm worried because it's a big house within a housing estate. The location is nice but not as nice as where we are currently. Part of the garden is overlooked by the neighbors. But with a bit of planting we could probably increase privacy. The layout at the moment is weird. We might be able to improve it but certainly not immediately. It's not at the moment a house you could post on Instagram. I think this is part of the problem. I really struggle to visualise how we could improve it and make it look Instagram worthy. At the moment it's empty so looks just very bare. I keep looking at Rightmove at gorgeous properties in a similar price bracket but as DH points out none of them are directly comparable so comparing our 4 bed with a 3 bed or houses too far from school. Or beautiful houses but the rooms are smaller.
How do I decide what to do?
