Hi all, I'd be interested in your views please on a situation I'm in. I have a 4 bedroom house in a good area, which is currently rented out. The house is great - I bought it as my PPOR - but it has a HUGE ant problem. There's basically an ant colony in the ceiling, not picked up before purchase because of (frankly) a shoddy inspection. They're just plain black ants. I manage the situation carefully but it's a drag knowing that it's a problem that is unlikely to go away anytime soon. (The pest controllers visit 2-3 times per year as it is.) Fortunately the tenants have never been too bothered by the problem.
I have an option of moving back to the house soon when the current lease expires, so I'm looking at all options. Because of the ants, one option I'm considering is just selling it, taking the equity and investing in something else. I love the house except for the ants though!
Has anyone else had a similar experience? I'd welcome any sage advice. Thanks.
