Myself and my husband are about to buy our first home together after many years of renting.
However, my husband is Australian and doesn’t get the concept of these tiny British homes, all divided into tiny separate rooms!
We have found a house that is affordable/that we we like - however, it has a kitchen all enclosed off. There is a wall that divides the kitchen and the living/dining room - and we don’t want it there!
Does anyone know/have experience of negotiating with the new builders (Persimmon) to leave wall out? I have a builder/developer friend who said it would actually save the building firm money by not adding the wall/door. However, I get the feeling that these houses are like Ikea flatpack — and they’re just going to want to follow the plan!
Any insight would be much appreciated 😄
Kind regards
Chris and Gab
