Lounge/ diner - am I making a massive mistake?

Lounge/ diner - am I making a massive mistake?

Fallen in love with a house which is great size, characterful, modernish (despite the longe diner), gorgeous well developed south facing garden and decking area, big bedrooms and lovely road with outstanding schools….. however it has a large lounge / diner and no other rooms downstairs. There is potential to knock through but it’ll be costly and we will have no money left after purchase. We already need to build a new bathroom upstairs and potentially separate one of the large bedrooms, strip wall paper and buy an outdoor storage facility.

I’ve only ever known a social, eat in kitchen - there not even room for a brekky bar.

Do you think we’ll get used to it or regret it forever? How fundamental is a kitchen / diner as opposed to a large longer / diner?

We are a family of four. One older child and one baby. We’ve also been looking for nearly a year - sold our house so could potentially lose buyers if we don’t find somewhere. No prepared to rent and with it coming up to October I feel like we’re at the the end of the housing season so need to find somewhere and settle really.

Thanks 🙏

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...

How to Avoid Property Scams in Delhi?

Here’s What You Should Know! Commercial Real Estate (Non-Residential) Buying a property in Delhi can be tricky, especially with all the stories about scams and shady deals.
