Makes sense to me, having to fish your daughter out of the brook sounds annoying.
We went to see the 60's place today - someone had made an offer of £830,000 earlier that day which we were told was going to be accepted this evening if no other bids were forthcoming.
That rules me out as I'd want a survey and so forth, but interesting to see how fast people are moving.
I liked the house, good size, has what I'd like in terms of potential - but would refurbishing from top to bottom, including a little of the external woodwork which was rotten.
It had a lot of original features, including of course the cork tiles that BQ is such a fan of, and I'd likely bring back what I think would suit from the period the house was built in - which does of course introduce it's own challenges as you can't go to Wickes and ask for a teak mid-century modern kitchen.
Still, interesting to go and look at it.
