Mine was only three years old, so was more 'tired' than in need of any significant work. Saw past the dirt (had been rented out -- make-up on carpets etc) and decorated it all myself. | |

I will be looking into buying a newbuild, but we have very little DIY experience between us and live quite far from family help, also will need to be both working full time so wont have time to spend doing it up. | |

We redecorated in every room, replacing all the flooring but kept the ktchen and bathroom. The house is only 5yrs old, so they were in very good condition. | |
