No smug wine shop near by, which is an honest concern, because we are spoilt atm.
Built wine cellar in remodel. Stock up at Majestic. Job done.

Dunno how much Fox's extension was but I'm not sure how famous you'll get for 75k... Mate of mine in Catford spent £130k doing a bog-standard loft conversion and kitchen extension (open plan, bi-fold doors, island, etc). It's really nice but not unusual/architect-y.

I'd do it. In 3 years time what would irk you more, not having a year of fun or seeing what that gaff would now be worth?

We bought a house 3 years ago that was cheap because it needed loads of work doing to it. It cost 50k and took six months to get it liveable, but in my view it was well worth it.
The six months of living in one and a half rooms was pretty painful, and I still find the odd bit of plaster dust on something. But after six months that 50k Had easily increased the value by 100k, and we now have a nice house in an area we want to live in.

Can someone make a decision for me please.
Just viewed a house that I can afford, just outside an area I want to live in, its about 150K less than the price of the neighbour, but needs about 75k of work.
My flat is currently fine, but longing for outside space.
The house isn't a stretch (cost wise) just could be a money and time pit.
My wife was quite ill last year, we kinda planned for a year of fun, but is this an opportunity not to be missed as it could be a keeper.
No smug wine shop near by, which is an honest concern, because we are spoilt atm.
I also want to be internet famous like @Fox and his extension, and this would be an enabler.
Someone decide for me please thanks.
