Looks likely we will be taking my grandparents house on. Beautiful 1930's terrace house, orginal panelling in hallway, 1930's broken bathroom & beautiful stained glassed bay window. Shame its gonna need a hell of alot of work to make it liveable. Currently heating doesn't work, back of house may be falling off & can't flush toilet!!

Well, Louise, it does sound like a lot of work (where will the funds to do the repairs come from, if you dont mind my asking?), but in the long run it may be well worth it, if the house isnt a total disaster area.

Claire (sister) is keen for us to take house on. If she then agrees to split remaining asserts we can make do major jobs like checking structure, sorting bathroom & kitchen then move in. Ok it won't be nicely decorated or be very modern in remaining rooms but hell we will have a three bed house & a garden!
After that we can clear flat tart it up & sale providing us with no mortgage & lump of funds. Luckily I brought it before prices over here went silly!
Not settled yet need to to talk to Claire but last time we were there she was making suggestions on what we could do with kitchen etc! So looking good!
