What are your thoughts on these houses (with links)?

[AfterTheRainComesSun]

For a family of 3 living near London. Love these type of posts. Curious to see what people think.

These are 2 bed:

These are 3 bed:

Why are you asking?

Second three bed!

Has a downstairs lo and a bit of character, I actually really like that one

The third 3-bedroom house is nice.

The kitchen layout in the second is a bit wonky.

The very last one.

First two look prettier but are pretty small, especially 2 which has a lot crammed in. 3 uses space best IMO but bedroom 3 is more of a nursery/office size

The second three bed says sold.

I like all of them.

I think they’re all very workable, practical houses and could all be nice homes depending on what you want/need.
Personally I’d discount the first 2 bed and 3 bed because I prefer to park in front of the house rather than by a separate set of garages but plenty of people wouldn’t care.

The 2nd 3 bed looks the nicest from the outside but the interior space is a bit awkward, it’s also the most expensive and I would probably spend more money changing the interior of that one than any of the others. On that basis I don’t think it’s a true comparable to the others.

The last 3 bed is the one I like best but of course it’s under offer. None of the bedrooms are large but that goes for everything you’ve linked so not really a negative in this context. It looks competitively priced which I suppose is backed up by the fact it’s gone.

I really don’t think there’s much to choose between any of them though.

Is one of them yours or are you hoping to buy?

I'd discount the first due to the front door opening into the open plan, with stairs in there too.

Second is nice, and probably my favourite of the ones still on the market

Third is nice, but garage area looks a bit run down. Would want to wander round.

Fourth is nice. But SSTC. My favourite over all.

5th is small but nice. Stairs off lounge put me off.

I don't like new builds as they are like rabbit hutches stacked on top of one another and the gardens are tiny. So my favourite is the 1st 3-bed.

House 1: the living room isn't big enough to take that dark colour. Nice enough but half a million, wow!

House 2, good that it has 2 bathrooms and parking, both important IMO but the garden is very overlooked

House 3, nice but I'd want another bathroom. Nicer sized garden

House 4 looks the nicest from the outside but don't think they should have such a big fridge freezer and is the bathroom on a weird half landing? Or is that a second loo?

House 5 is beautifully presented but the 2 small beds are tiny BUT could you extend to the side? Probably not actually, it's not much space.

@Illegallyblonder yes but this isn't really about the wall color, that's the first thing we'd change if we went for n1!

Thanks all. I should have specified, this type of budget in these location implies we need to compromise on something. So I appreciate some of you saying you'd like a second bathroom or a parking space etc (we'd like that too and lots more) but this type of money doesn't get you much over here! Can't afford a fixer upper either, need a place where we can quickly move in and that doesn't need too much work.

The first 3-bed looks lovely. Useful to have a spare room even if small, and I prefer a separate kitchen and stairs not directly into the living room. Looks like a really nice house. Good luck!

I like no 5 but they are all nice.

Non2 is my least favourite. A bit too overlooked.
