First-time buyer Georgia, 24, made a unlikely discovery about her 1800s property after putting an offer in
Where we live and what we pay for our homes always strikes up an interesting conversation, especially in the current climate. After this week's news that mortgage repayments could become even more costly if interest rates rise as predicted, people are desperate to know what they can now afford on today's property market.
First-time buyer Georgia, who has lived in Runcorn all her life, bought an 1800s property with her boyfriend Karl, 27, in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. “The home buying process was pretty hectic because we bought it in June 2021 as everyone was coming out of lockdown and because there was the stamp duty holiday, everyone was rushing to buy.
“I can’t believe we got it at that price to be honest, especially looking at house prices now, nothing compares. I 100 per cent know the only reason I was able to save is because I was living at home with my parents. which was my saving grace. I have no idea how people do it if they are renting," admits Georgia.
"It used to be a detached house with 13 bedrooms but whoever sold it after my great grandad then split it into our house and a maisonette. It’s got loads of family history to it that I didn’t even realise when we bought it.Since moving in the couple haven't done much renovating to their Runcorn property as Georgia says it was exactly what she wanted.
“On the ground floor we have a living room, dining room and kitchen which leads onto a utility room and bathroom. There’s access to the basement from this floor which we don't have a use for at the moment, but we have plans to convert it into a cinema room in the future.
