SadieO said:This isn't the worst house I've seen on here (although it's not great, and for some reason has a kitchen sink in the little bedroom) but the price is... ambitious shall we say! York is not the cheapest place to live but if you want a 3 bed semi and can afford £300-350k there's plenty of nice ones in that range, you don't have to buy this dump doer-upper! Just a couple of doors down on the same street for just £15k more you can have this nice one - I'm sure you'd spend more than £15k getting the first one up to the same standard. And actually the second one has been up for sale since Oct so you might even be able to get it for a lower offer. I totally understand the appeal of a doer-upper but surely part of it is that you get it at a lower price to take into account the work needed??All posts are my personal opinion, not formal advice Always get proper, professional advice (particularly about anything legal!)7
