Update:
We decided to go and view the property 6 weeks back and would you believe it it had just sold. So all that agonising for nothing !
Have now seen a house in a different location which is further away from the school than where we are now.
Priced at £285K it was individually built about 4 years ago. It is semi-rural off a quiet lane.
Magnigicent views over the Cheshire Plain.
Went to view it yesterday and the house was huge but the garden was only tiny. I think the neighbours had sold the land where the house has been built and hence the tiny garden with a peculiar shape.
There is also a field on the other side which currently has horses in although was empty when we visited.
During feedback will ask EA why the current owners are selling (house is empty). Seems strabge to build a house to your own exact spec then move 4 years later.
Our house has been valued at £180K so using savings we would still need an extra £60K mortgage.
Just doing some number crunching now to see if it is possible.
Thinking of going to view a 4 bed which is located in the same village as daughters school. it is £255K but nowhere near the size of this one.
Is it worth the extended school run to live in a bigger house and quiet location.0
