House hunting begins

Well yesterday was interesting. We were looking at two properties which were within about half a mile of one another. Price wise they were pretty much identical as well. What was interesting was the very different prospects they provide.
The first house is beautifully decorated with a kitchen which is pretty well near perfection. Only thing is there is almost nothing you could do to that house and it is probably pretty much worth as much as it will ever be worth without a general rise in the Market.
The second house was slightly different. Ever so slightly bigger. Bedroom sizes similar but every room had built in wardrobes so they felt bigger. The downside is the kitchen needs doing as does the bathroom. Every room in the house needs a refresh at the least. But as a result of this the price is depressed for what the house offers. Plus it has a view to die for. I doubt I could ever get tired of that view.
We are going to see another two houses today and I am Hopi ng it all becomes a bit clearer.
Interesting things I noticed about houses in Shetland.
1: they love utility rooms which are a great idea and makes big kitchens feel even bigger
2: they love big kitchens
3: they do not seem to go for huge bedrooms and sacrifice space the fir bigger kitchens/living rooms
4: bathrooms tend to be big with separate showers
5: they love big garages and I do mean BIG garages.
