Re: Wish List for New House
Two small things:
I'd try to ensure that waste pipes, soil vent pipes etc. are internal rather than external - they are just ugly. (Ensure that if they are internal, that they are reasonably accessible though.
Also avoid having footpaths all around the house - if you look at houses in the States, for example, they usually would have lawns and gardens against the walls. (Just watch out for piling extra soil against the wall in future and breaching the D.P.C.).
