Not in the cheaper suburbs where I am looking....
Though I did see more auctions in the paper in the more expensive suburbs.

I'm glad there's not, that be another thing I'd need to get informed about, and I really can't be bothered!

But yeah, my dad's going to be living in an area nearby, so he can help, and we can do the gardens and painting etc.
I was first looking at 2 bedroom ones too, but reselling it might be harder, and otherwise if we do end up staying in it and having kids.

Just a thought - how about a loft conversion job? If you can find a place suitable it can be a good way of getting more for your money - I used to love my loft room when I was a kid.
