Went to the smaller flat last night. It was not to my liking. The floor was all scratched because they had a dog in the house and the floor near the kitchen was sticky underfoot I wonder what that dog has been doing. In Saffron Walden we had cats in our previous house and this caused an enormous problem with flees. Itchy Itchy scratch scratch. We had to have the place fumigated. It was overpriced as well coming in at 136000€ and it was at least 10 sq m smaller than the one we saw yesterday.
It is a good idea to calculated the price per sq m as this is a good indicator of value for money. At the moment over 2000€ is expensive. Moderate is aroung 1700€ and cheap is 1500€ or under. That is in the Helsinki area.
Maija now thinks we should put in an offer for the flat in Esponlahti and offer 133000€ for it. It is away from the kids Christopher and Raisa, but it is near a big shopping mall and has a very good swiming pool nearby and it is only a few minutes from the sea. We fool ourselves that we would go swiming in the swiming pool and have picnics by the sea. Maija has even sugested that we get a sailing boat. Now that is abit over the top. It is not so far away from work, about 10 minutes drive along the Lansiväylä
I would still prefer to see some more places at the weekend and see the house in broad daylight. The one advantage it does have is that the couple who own it are willing to move out by the 8th of February which is when we have to move out of our flat in Lautasarri
