A place that ticks the boxes but you just don't 'feel' it?

    Our previous house was bought after we lost one house. It ticked all the boxes but it didn’t feel ‘right’ though how much of that was because I tried not to get excited about it because of our previous experience and it wasn’t as pretty a house. We lived there for over thirty years and in retrospect it was a much better fit than the one we lost.

    What about if it does feel right but doesn’t tick all the boxes!

    For me that would be an easier decision, if I really liked the place I'd go for it. There's always some compromises.
