The Chat Room / Re: Changes..

Houses here sell quickly, young couples mainly.  The dining room and kitchen will be opened up, ours are still separate.  Bifolds out to the garden probably.  We're five minutes from the tram, schools etc. I hope it doesn't all go on care home fees.  The kids don't need it, but it would give the grandkids a start housing wise.

I do believe that one of my grandchildren will live in the house... There are schools.. shops.. park nearby..

It needs a bit of a facelift.. nothing drastic..

Doubt I'll see much either.

Son's car is in for a service and I'm picking him up from the garage early so I hope it won't be freezing. Forecast says it won't now but the crafty sods change them to match when the day comes around

Depends on what the children do when they get it - if they do the council might nab it for care costs which would be a bummer. 

If it's sell it then the chances are it will become two flats or possibly an HMO if the council allow a higher density of those in future - next door was turned down and is now two flats. The landlord showed them to me and they looked pretty good but I've no idea of the price. 

Not that good as a family home as there is no garden to speak of which suits me. There are schools and a recreation ground near but I think most young families are forced into renting by high house prices. It's old and not cheap to heat too. Plenty of shops in walking or mobility scooter distance but old people rarely move.

One big downside for the future is no driveway which makes electric cars inconvenient and expensive. Once again not something that will bother me.
