One in 10 home owners in the UK regret buying their home with the biggest reason being that they think they rushed into it and 57% actually dislike their homes, new research has found.
Buying a house is the biggest purchase most people will ever make, and 90% of people don’t regret their purchase. However, that leaves 10% who do, the survey carried out for mortgage and loans provider Ocean Finance has found.
Some 28% said they had rushed into buying, 20% said they don’t like their neighbours, 16% said it is not big enough,12% said it needed more work done than they thought and 6% said they can’t really afford their mortgage. Also 6% said they would make a loss if they sold.
