Auckland - Dreadful Houses. Am I the only one???
Is there anyone else out there who has struggled to find a decent house in the North Shore Bays area? One that is solidly built? and dry? Is it just me that can't stand the way the houses are built down these right of ways where you are overlooked by countless other houses or where the house is built into the side of a steep bank and therefore depressingly dark and dank?
We have spent weeks looking at dismal, damp, expensive houses and I am just about ready to go out and buy some Prozac, I am feeling soo depressed!! :wah
We have finally found a house that doesn't smell of damp as it is elevated but because we were getting so desperate to buy a house (we had to be out of our rented house within a few weeks...they called it a house, I'd call it a scout hut with its wooden walls and tin roof!!) we ended up paying much more than its true value, just because I couldn't bear the thought of some of the alternatives.
Unfortunately, when we came here there was very little available on the market so perhaps it was just a bad time to be looking, as I notice there are a lot more 'for sale' signs up now... so maybe it is just me....
Anyway, I'd appreciate others' comments on the subject...
