My wife and I took possession of the house last week, we are the 3rd owners. It was built in 2005 and nothing much has been done to it since then. Thus far I've found many little annoying things that should have been rectified. Nothing major just annoying. For example the Hotwater tank is original...
We were being picky with style of home. We wanted a brick terraced house with bedrooms all on one floor vs split all over. No bungalows or similar. We were in no rush as well. This place was on the market awhile and was at the upper end of our budget. Long story short we got it just under asking. But still well under our maximum mortgage approval. Home inspection didnt reveal much but they also missed some stuff. So whatever.
Immediately we started with a major cleaning of everything before painting. As the walls had never been painted since new I sanded down everything to knock off any previous "grit" or "dust" that got there the first time around.
The kitchen is something we wanted to have done ASAP but everyone is booked. So for now it's just paint and minor changes like handles etc. I changed the faucet in the kitchen to something that can be reused later on. The original faucet was making a shit ton of noise and I didn't want to deal with changing the cartridge
3 of the 5 exterior lights were no longer working and all the fixtures glass was dirty. I replaced everything cleaned the glass. Again annoying little things
