I know people say its your decision but which out of these 2 properties would you go for???
Both 4 beds in very good parts of town, same price, 1 of them needs decorating and both have potential...

So which would you pick if you had to???

    We are wanting a 4 bed but will spend less than half those. I like both for different things but I guess it depends on your families circumstances

    I prefer no.1 but don't like all the ivy on the front of the house.

    Hope you are able to make the right decision.

    I like the 1st one better, the second one is odd looking to me, although nice inside.

    Wish I had that choice to make!!

    I'd also go with the first one to be honest with you as it seems lighter and brighter and I find the outside of the house more appealing too.

    How does the garden size compare? From the details the first looks like it has more overall potential.

    The ivy or I think Canadian creeper is its name would be coming off straight away.
    Also house 1 is 30m2 bigger than house 2...

    House 2 for me. It's on the edge of open fields, with no overlooking neighbours. Easy to decorate up to the standard of house 1, it's in a far better location. Much more potential.
    House 1 is bang in the middle of an estate and although cosmetically nicer, it's situation is much much worse and can't be improved upon.
