Need some advice please. We are currently renting a three bedroom house for £650 a month. The landlord wants to sell to us next year. We will be first time buyers and have three children aged 9,8 and 4 months.
The house we live in now has a small lounge, large kitchen diner, utility room, tiny downstairs shower & toilet, a medium garden, two small double rooms upstairs a bathroom with a jacuzzi bath and a third bedroom that would fit a cot but not a bed. The house is a semi and we have perfect neighbours really good friends with them.We would pay about £140,000 for the house and then extend to the side putting on a garage, playroom, and two further medium sized bedrooms. The parking isn't very good we have a drive but its a cul de sac so terrible at the weekend.
We have just been offered another house a four bed detached. We would rent to start at £700 a month and it will sell for about £170,000.
It has a hallway, downstairs wc, large lounge/ diner, large kitchen, playroom, lean to conservatory, medium garden, two double bedrooms( master with ensuite), third good sized room, box bedroom and a large bathroom. The reason for the low selling price would be because it needs some tlc. It's quite dated. All three wc/ bathrooms would need replacing eventually. It has a drive way for two cars as well as further off road parking.
If you've read this far thank you. Which would you choose??
