| Comment | Thirded, I did the same, sofa bed and all. When I realised that ditching a second bedroom would cost me £50-70k less and knock 5 or more years off the mortgage, I realised that actually having that space isn't really very important, as you just fill it with shite anyway. And it meant I could afford to live in a great location previously way out of my reach.
Also, a lot of 2 beds these days are just converted 1 beds with the kitchen internalised, so you're not actually getting any additional floorspace for your money - the insanity that we value on number of bedrooms rather than total floor area like the rest of the world.
And the added benefit of having less to clean, and a generally more efficient home as it makes you think about what you need rather than just accumulating crap. |
