    Been to see the house and not really impress for some reason on the pic it looks big but in person it's not that big. So now I don't know what to do lol. We can live in it as it is but we will have to do an extension on it sooner rather than later but how much is that gonna cost me lol

    That's the joy of viewings... you instantly realise why it's not for you.

    I had a viewing this afternoon I rejected as I walked up the front path... and 20 more things inside. But I hadn't expected to want it, to be fair, I'd only gone out "just in case I was wrong".

    Agents have a way of making dog turdz look like solid gold ornaments.

    First thing that struck me is: where does that path go? what's that path all about?

    To me, paths are a source for nefarious behaviour, nuisance and interference...

    If that's the house's path, belonging to the house, fine.... but if it's a public footpath, where all sorts and his dog could wander freely with and without pets, gangs, shouts, bikes, skateboards and other paraphernalia, at all times of night or day ..... I'd call that a potential for a feral nuisance you'd never have any control over.

    If it's a cut through your grass will perpetually be trampled by running hoardes of kids running to/from their mates in the next road/behind... and back... and back... and back/forth.... oh - and they have bikes.
