There are several factors to consider when buying a home, from price and potential value to the size and location. But just like in relationships, most homeowners say that when it comes to choosing the right property, 'when you know, you know'.
This was the case for Emily Hesketh, 31, and her fiancé Stacy Dyer, 41, who fell head over heels for a lakeside farmhouse in Cheshire which was not only out of their budget and out of the area that they initially wanted, but it was in a derelict state and needed a whole lot of work doing to it.
Emily, originally from Lancaster, and Stacy, from Dorset, met whilst they were both working in the US back in 2018. The couple bought their first property together in America before deciding it was time to move back home to the UK. The pair initially had their hearts set around Altrincham, Hale and Hale Barns in Greater Manchester but found that they were being priced out of the area.
