Yeah it's not a good trend that rooms are so small.Rare to find a 3 bed with decent rooms it seems. Some of the new builds around here have 4 or 5 beds with one that is decent size and the rest small box rooms.
We looked around one today we liked, so will ring up int he morning. The people selling are moving to a new build so need to find out how long that will be as it could make the chain simple or hard work
We have found 3 bed place that we like and will go and see it this weekend. It's got 3 doubly bedrooms which is very rare in houses for this area. Also got nice internal garage 6mx3m which is ideal for converting into office/games room. Also has conservatory which we could turn into an extension.
Like you it will all be the chain and it's our second time buying a home so we never experienced stress of a chain process.
