What sacrifices did you make

I have a list of must haves and would like for my dream house.

Area is most important and unfortunately not many come up in the area I want. One has recently it needs a lot of work but it would mean the following sacrifices.

On a busy ish country road, not an A or B road and set back a little so not right on the road. No utility or ensuite and its at the top of our budget so not something we could change anytime soon and we wanted a good size garden for having bbqs etc.

It has a big wrap around garden but the back garden is only small, its bigger at the front and the sides. Do you think you could live with these sacrifices or would you hold on for something else? We have been looking since oct.

What sacrifices did you make on your houses and did you regret it?

My compromise was giving up on buying a house.

found my dream home but it only has a downstairs bathroom. but upstairs shower room/loo can be put in. this will be done.

i can forgive the house for not having an upstairs bathroom because the house has the wow factor and everyone in the village loves it. the EA said it’s the house he would choose to live in !
