PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

Purchased the wrong house...

Thank you for replies. We will be doing the parking and making the rear garden more useable and seeing how we feel after that.
As people have mentioned, if it isn’t the right house then it isn’t the right house. We are a step closer to finding what we want in a house after the experience and I would have thought the house would sell without too much difficulty.0 -
We moved to a house on a (very) main road some 30 years ago. It was a lot cheaper than equivalent ones round the corner.
The noise meant you couldn't have a chat sometimes on the front drive. The back garden was fine though. We moved the main bedroom to the back and stayed there 23 years.0 -

50m :rotfl: how long is your car?
Mine is just under 5m so I could get about 10 of them in the "set back"
Maybe you should just fill in half the olympic sized swimming pool and use that as a drive.
As someone else mentioned there appears to be a separation between this thread and reality.Your life is too short to be unhappy 5 days a week in exchange for 2 days of freedom!0
