which house would you buy given the choice of those 2

eldaniel

I have a massive dilemma which house to make an offer on. I am debating those two:

Assuming that you could afford (barely) any of them which one would you choose. Also which one do you think would be easier to sell later.
They are both in decent parts of the towns but the cheaper one is by quite busy road.
Many thanks for your input. Hope you can make my choice easier

the 1st one looks better apart from the very odd looking bit at the front. The other left half looks "normal" but the right side just looks out of place.

First one is loads better. Well worth the £25k extra asking price.

Pincher

£275k for me.


The £250k one looks space pinching.

Second for me. I would not be happy with people driving under the bedroom at all hours. Plus back car parks can sometimes be places for youngsters to hang out.

Presumably you know the £275K house currently has tenants?

I'd go for the second one but only because I dislike concrete gardens.

I would go for the semi. When I first looked at both I just preferred it, not sure why. The link detached with the roadway underneath would be a huge no, although I didn't pick up on that at first.

The garden in the semi looks well cared for which would lead me to think the rest of the house had been c/w potentially really no care from the link detached which had been tenanted.

The first one. I like the tunnel thing . but I'm weird

If you go for the first beware the main bedroom above the entrance to the car park. Not only would I not like the noise from cars passing under, the room is likely to be really cold. We have a similar arrangement but it is our own car port below our spare bedroom and main bathroom.

We regret having the main bathroom floor tiled as soon as we moved in as really it needs under floor heating. That side of the upstairs is always colder than the rest of the house. I have since read that this is a common issue with houses that have a car port/car park arch. Something I wish we'd known before we bought.

doubt you'd love it if someone using the car park has a noisy exhaust and goes out early in a morning or comes home in the small hours.
