Sorry for all the questions everyone!
I'm in the market for a PPOR and in my budget there seems to be something or other that is wrong with the houses. The first one that I put an offer in for had structural damage so i didn't go ahead with the purchase.
I looked at one yesterday that was a 70's ugly house with NO street appeal whatsoever. It's not subdivided and is on about 750 approx m2.
The things that put me off are the 70's windows, the tiny 1 inch thick skirting boards in dark timber, it has no cornices at all anywhere and and it will need the architraves replacing.
The layout is good and I like that it's not sub divided. I know i'm not going to find anything beautiful in my budget and I'm aware that these things are not big dramas and can be replaced or fixed.
So how fussy is too fussy? Would you let these things get in the way of a potential PPOR? Did you just get what you could afford despite it not being exactly what you wanted and then upgraded?
This is it btw.
