Trying to find your perfect \u2018dream house\u2019 can be a process fraught with difficulty which puts a lot of pressure on prospective buyers. Realistically, there will always be factors which you have to compromise on, but working out which ones you can do without will be tricky.

There are some factors that are universally desirable when choosing a house. Basics such as size, location, local amenities and crime levels are commonly cited by prospective buyers as key considerations in their hunt for a home. However, when you factor in your price range you can frequently find that it becomes necessary to make concessions. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ultimately, what points you decide to concede on will depend upon your lifestyle and the importance you place on certain perks. According to a survey from Which?, the top three aspects which people deemed as deal breakers which they did not compromise on were local crime levels, number of bedrooms and proximity to schools. Size of property came 6th and preferred location came 8th.<\/span><\/p>\n
