I'm undecided as to which of 2 properties to purchase.
Originally my wife and I set our hearts on purchasing a victorian property. And have at last found one we like. 7 bed stone built semi. number of original fire places with mosaic tiles. original sash windows. very nice. built around 1890
However, last weekend in the same town a 1910 stone built semi came onto the market. arguably this property has the edge cos it has a much larger garden and is about 15 grand cheaper. but although it has a number of cast iron fire places and sash windows it is not a victorian property.
Am I being pedantic in not buying the 1910 house cos its not a victorian property? And if I do decide to go for the 1910 property would it be advisible to restore the property in the same way as a victorian property would be restored?
