I admire you for going through the ****, but FFS is it really worth it? I've just bought houses pretty close to what I like and made additions/alterations and made a home out of them.
Cheers mate! David.

Pretty much how I bought my house - walked into a few homes and it was either worth putting in an offer for or not. You can see the layout, the colour scheme, the workmanship. My sister has been part of 4 purchases of new homes. Apart from dealing with faults, you have to stump up for the landscaping and lawn - dealing with pulling half bricks out of your yard for some time and getting the lawn to take. I ended up buying a place 5 years old.
