I would NEVER buy a house with…

[Wyr]

• solar panels

• a ‘garden house’ IE a lockdown special outdoor wooden shed dressed up as an office - usually taking up half the garden and completely pointless

• a neighbour who has a load of cars / shit in their yard - hoarder vibes

who’s next? 3 things that would make you not buy a house…

I'd rule out a property without a proper hall- nowhere for shoes/coats/pram and the lounge (usually) ends up becoming a corridor to the rest of the house.

I'd want a spacious kitchen/dining space, or room to knock through and create one. I'm done after years of playing kitchen tetris in squashed, seperate rooms. I'd like the lounge/living room space to be seperate though.

No to pokey bedrooms- I like plenty of wardrobe space. In fact I'd take a lovely walk-in wardrobe over an en suite any day.

I hate front doors that open straight in to the living room too....where do you put your shoes and hang your coats? I need a hallway 😅
Plus when you open the door to the postie he can look in and see what you're doing 😄

Without a bath
with a very small, north-facing garden or no garden at all

but that’s all. I can live without designated parking. I’ve no problem with parking in the next street if necessary.

Shared drive or flying freehold

Has any type of water - Pond etc -
(Kids & Water do not mix)

A house that is Over looked (No thanks)

No private parking space / No drive

They are the top 3 BUT i have other wants and needs 😂

• I would like a utility room with space to hang laundry as well

• 2 Toilets and atleast one large shower & one large bath

Not to much to ask for right?

Im currently overdrawn and have no savings 😂😂

Yes. Agree with these

Well, presumably the hot tub would go with anyone selling.

BUT a neighbour with a hot tub now... definitely one I'd avoid. AKA a sex pond (and I know someone who used theirs for that 🤮🤮🤮🤮).

Once looked at a detached house (good size) where they'd turned the ENTIRE and considerably large back garden into a mahoosive pond.

And the bedrooms all had fitted kitchen cabinets (as opposed to fitted bedroom furniture which is bad enough), although no cooker/sink additions. Very very weird.

Kitchen cabinets?! 🤣🤣🤣

Wouldn’t buy unless detached
must have front and back garden
must have driveway

golly my house was built in 1990 and has no period features!

Period features pre/2000 omg I feel ANCIENT.

My thoughts exactly.

Agreed.

I am still Team Open Plan

Well, presumably the hot tub would go with anyone selling.

ours came with a hot tub and I didn't want it, the previous owners didn't want to take it so they ended up giving it to their realtor for his yard!

A shared driveway

A conservatory

Brown PVC windows

yes me too.

Why?

Huge delays at the moment in most areas

...only one toilet

What's wrong with solar panels?

What about a house near a golf course, not near enough to be hit by stray balls (that would obviously be bad!) but are there other concerns re toxicity from pesticides?

A bus stop outside especially if it served a school or college.

Swimming pool

I don’t get the first 2….you can change those!
