A huge renovation project is more than likely to come with a few hidden issues and expenses
For some homebuyers, the idea of a furnished new build house that's ready to move into almost straight away is a dream come true while others prefer more outdated properties that they can transform and renovate by themselves to make it their own.
The couple who had been together for 10 years were living happily in their first home together but jumped at the opportunity to secure their ideal home when they spotted it for sale on Rightmove. "We didn't look at any other houses, we were blinkered and went straight for this one - we effectively moved around the corner on a whim." However, despite immediately falling in love with the older property, the process of moving in was not as straightforward as the couple had first expected.
Ruth said: "We moved in straight away because we couldn't afford not to - but it was literally a 50s time warp, it looked as though it hadn't been decorated for decades. Everything needed doing to it - a full rewire, plastering, painting, knocking walls down and ripping out units. She said: "Before we moved in I had a vision for each room and knew how I wanted things to change. I either start with mood boards, or I find an item that I love and then build a room around that.
