The search goes on, the place we saw and made an offer on wasn't really for us.
We found two really nice places today, both of which we would love to move into - one which I prefer, one which she prefers - but they are both with the same agent. What's the etiquette there?
One is more expensive BUT has a cellar (bike cave). It is also much better for transport links and not reliant on a station which is apparently opening at some point within the next year.
What we'd really like to do is get advice from a builder who could tell us roughly how much it would cost to:
1.) Knock down a stud wall and possibly move a boiler
2.) Put French windows in a room at the back, which once had a window and a door which have since been filled in - apparently because the room used to be a kitchen and has now become a bedroom.
Could anyone give a very rough idea of how much that is likely to be, or recommend someone who could come down to a viewing and give us an estimate?
Our budget means we could either get a badly refurbished medium place, or a big place which would take a bit of creativity, and I'd prefer the latter if it is possible.
