I love it, husband hates it

hoping24

So it’s happened, we viewed a house- I loved it. More than what we’re looking for & lovely area. I’m sure it’s worth more than the price too. 

The main room I love is the room my husband hates. 

There’s no chance if my husband dislikes it so that’s it gone. I feel heartbroken. I could imagine living there for life. 

Anyone had this experience?

Yes, I liked the house enough to consider an offer, husband did not. I was disappointed but he was right! We found a better house that we both loved.

If only one of us likes a house we don't buy it. Same goes for art, holidays and all sorts.
What were your husbands reasons?

We’re same. That’s why it’s gone as soon as I fell in love with it. 

It’s the one room that’s been extended- it’s 2 steps down from the living room. He wishes it was level. He says he likes the rest of the house.

Unless there are mobility issues, surely he'd get used to it?

I do hope for both your sakes that he's not regretting this a few months down the line if you don't find something else with such a trivial downside.

Wish that's all there was 'wrong' with our house!

Hmm, so no good reason then... :-)

Pretty much every house I've seen with stepped floor levels have benefitted from its additional character as a result. Each house is different, of course.

Is this an oldie? Any chance of a nosy link, pleeeeez? :-)

I reluctantly agreed re buying a house that the other 3 members of the family liked ++, some years on and problems with heating, leaking roof, constant repairs needed, ghastly garden - they commented that perhaps I was right

I was really really dubious about buying our old run down cottage. Husband cleverly gave all alternatives that we could afford. Didn't like any of those even more!
Love it now.

I wasn't at all keen to buy our last-but-one house because it had a (newly) thatched roof. DH convinced me that it was his idea of perfection and - because, at 2500 sq ft, it was a good size plus it had a great third ofoan acre cottage garden - I was won over. 

We transformed it from 1980s hell to the Georgian character property it was intended to be, but I never came to terms with that roof.... exacerbated by the chimney fire we had shortly before selling 😮
