I did think that but we can't afford to go any higher, we are right at the edge of the budget. Already got some others booked in to look at but non are as nice and we'd convinced her to chuck in some furniture and the kitchen stuff, including a nice 6 hob range cooker that I think I was looking forward to more than anything else.
Gutted.
Have a look round for a day or two and see if you can find something better, if you can't and the old purchase looks like good enough value you could offer to pay something extra towards her repairs. It's a shitty thing to have to do, and you shouldn't have to, but if the repairs she wants to do are £5k, it could be that you offering £2.5k extra means she can still afford the purchase and then you don't have to start all over again.
