I'm having a really bad day today, so I need to rant!
I wanted to stay in the city and I didn't want to end up with noise from neighbour troubles in a new house, you read so much about, so I thought I buy an old house... I knew work would have to be done, but I am exhausted from renovating, organising, getting tradesmen in and never getting anywhere because of all these unexpected troubles. And I'm not extending or anything, just normal things like getting floor in, stripping wallpaper, connecting new washing machine.... I feel I was better off renting. I had to pay a ridiculous amount of stamp duty, which wiped out all my savings so now we can't afford a holiday or any luxuries as all the money is going into the house. I feel overwhelmed and I wonder was it really worth it!
