My new build (3 bed) has a bigger garden than my old 3 bed terrace. Not all new build estates are the same!FreeBear said:New build = tiny garden.Looked at the new builds round here, and looked at the back gardens. Most of them are smaller than my front garden !If you are planning on children, having a large garden for them to run around in will be a real asset. Put a shed at the end of the garden, and they would be less likely to be underfoot in the summer months.One advantage of where you are at the moment - You know what the neighbours are like. A new house (new build or old) would mean getting to know people all over again.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA).
