Yesterday we saw a couple more properties, but none we were prepared to buy. We then went back to our second choice from last week and decided to put in an offer for that one.
It is al lovely four bed property on 2 acres, just north of Belleville. The main level is fantastically finished with wooden floors, great kitchen, fab living room and dining room. However, the basement needs finishing as although the occupiers are obviously using it as a family room, it needs a ceiling, flooring and some other finishing touches. We would also want to put a third bathroom down there with the existing bedroom so any guests we have stying have their own area to themselves.
So we are putting in an offer this morning for considerably lower than the asking price to take into account the money we will have to spend doing it up. Apparently the owners have an offer on another property subject to them selling their house, so we may be in a good position. If it falls through, then it was meant to be!
