@Starseeking, that will give you lots of time to plan. No renovations needed here, the extension is quite large and was done 5 yrs ago. I would like to update the decor upstairs, and maybe new bathroom (it is modern but very dark and I don't like it). But nothing urgent needed. I would like to do a loft conversion in the future though.
Saying that, the boiler (which was in the loft) started leaking about 2 weeks after I moved here. It was old and I knew I would have to change it. But new boiler is in new, and moved downstairs into the utility room, which saves me heading into the loft in case of any other issues. The new boiler also leaked but that is another story! All good now, and wishing you the best of luck with those pesky tradespeople
