Have you seriously considered the long term maintenance on these large dwellings ?
Might be making a rod for your back.

Amen to that...
I went from a 3 bed semi with cavity wall insulation, double glazing and underfloor heating. LED Lights etc etc etc...(£90 per month for electric / gas)
now in a 5 bed Victorian and am currently paying £270 per month for gas & electric
I used to flounce around in shorts and t-shirt all year, I am now a PJ / Jumpers & Slippers man.
I used to keep a 4 tog duvet on all year, i bought a 13.5 tog duvet last year..
you get the idea....

My one bed ground floor flat involves enough maintenance for me. Speaking of which...
The front of our house (i.e. the house we share with our upstairs neighbour) needs painting.
Next door have some builders in doing theirs at the moment. They seem like nice genuine chaps and are local.
They've quoted us £1500 for painting all the masonry, windows and the front door. Including paint. It's a three story house.
This seems like a good price to me, although to be honest I have no idea how much it should cost. I do know they get their scaffolding cheap from someone down the road and obviously there's a saving for them if they only have to move it next door for the next job.
Does £1500 seem like a good deal?

I wonder what the response would be if I asked for a stiff discount?
