Blue House vs Church House
Goldfish Mansion went to someone else, though they took almost a week to tell me. So it's a good thing I didn't trust the agents and did look all day Saturday, and Monday, and Tuesday. Actually Tuesday was the last day I have looked. I found not one but two suitable properties.
The choice between
The shiny new ground floor apartment in large complex by the river. Property is unfurnished with 2 glittering bathrooms, two paved porches, glittering kitchen with whiteware disguised as cupboards and gym and carpark and all, overlooking a pretty overgrown derilect church. Close to the river and large parks, there is a pub sort of close by and then a busy intersection. Situated in Zone 3 near 2 train lines and 1 tube line. We shall call this Church House.
And the ground floor flat of a victorian terrace in a residential street. Property is in poor decorative order, fully furnished with 2 fully featured bathrooms (not glittering), reasonably sized aging basement kitchen, a large living room dominated by dark blue carpet, opening into a green, yet overgrown garden complete with aging bbq setting. Located in Zone 2 with walkable distance to 4 tube lines and 1 rail line, and cafes and shops at the end of the steet. We shall call this Blue House.
I have put an offer in on one of them, can you guess which? Which would you prefer?

I'd go the victorian terrace with the better zone travel thing and shops...if it had a river and overlooked a derelict church - how very, very cool. I didn't know you could buy fully furnished...or are you leasing?
Renting. Houses here are still outside my budget.
So which is it? I'm plumping for Church House, because who doesn't want to have a view of a derelict church (you just *know* that it's either crawling with vampires or the secret headquarters of an apocalyptic cult)?
