Hi everyone,
sorry for what will probably be a long post. We moved house about 2 weeks ago- upsized to a 50’s 3 bed house from a 2 bed new build. Since we’ve moved in I can’t help but think we have made the most horrendous mistake. The house was advertised as in need of modernisation and is dated, but now we’ve been here I can’t help but think the whole place needs gutting and isn’t cosmetic which we just can’t afford.
we are having a new bathroom in October, have had some builders in to move a few bits in our kitchen (really need a new kitchen but can’t afford it yet) and we have replaced the flooring throughout and replastering will be done in the hall and landing.
we had a full structural survey which highlighted some roof issues, but I asked a roofer to have a look and he said it wasn’t urgent work. I literally lie in bed every night and think it’s going to fall down, we’ve had the wallpaper stripped off the hall and there are cracks everywhere (no subsidence noted on structural survey). It just doesn’t feel like a home. We still haven’t been able to properly unpack as the house was absolutely FILTHY and we’ve just unpacked what we needed while it was cleaned. Has anyone ever been in a similar situation and has a positive story or regretted it? I just can’t ever imagine this House being our home and worry I’ve made a massive mistake for our family.
