Biggest Xmas Present
 

Think I might win this one - I bought a house :thumbsup:

Re: Biggest Xmas Present
 

Fabulous, will you be in it for Christmas?

Re: Biggest Xmas Present
 

Unfortunately not :(

But settlement will be in January so still plenty of summer left to enjoy the pool :thumbsup:

Re: Biggest Xmas Present
 

Excellent, enjoy!!!

Re: Biggest Xmas Present
 

Excellent news and how exciting, it looks lovely. You lucky thing having a pool too.:thumbsup:

Re: Biggest Xmas Present
 

Thanks Molly :)

Nervous about breaking our lease but didn't want to miss this :)

Gonna reduce the drive to work from an hour down to 15 mins, and is on the edge of the Barossa :)

Re: Biggest Xmas Present
 

Cheers!!:drinkwine::drinkwine:

That is almost within staggering distance, you lucky thing.:thumbup:

Re: Biggest Xmas Present
 

I know what you mean you're not just breaking a lease but your comfort zone too. Try not to worry too much. It will probably be one of the best moves you will make. It looks fab.
That'll make such a big difference having that 3/4 of an hour spare. Nice buy. Enjoy it. You deserve it. :thumbup:

Re: Biggest Xmas Present
 

Thanks Caroline - gonna give me time to enjoy the pool hopefully :lol:

Re: Biggest Xmas Present
 

It looks lovely. I've always yearned for a pool.

Re: Biggest Xmas Present
 

Noice, proper outdoor living. :thumbup:

Re: Biggest Xmas Present
 

Looks nice and open too... no trees to around to drop leaves etc... :thumbup:

Re: Biggest Xmas Present
 

Nothing directly over the pool but still plenty of greenery in the garden

Re: Biggest Xmas Present
 

I'm still young enough for you to adopt me and move me in you know, that looks like one lovely place....mum ;)

Re: Biggest Xmas Present
 

Thank you ..... son :lol:

Re: Biggest Xmas Present
 

Looks great! So nice to take on a mature garden too, takes the hard years out of it and makes it so enjoyable! (Says she with serious 1 yr old garden brain and money drain occurring!)

Re: Biggest Xmas Present
 

Nice one, love how green it is, I wouldn't have expected that in Gawler.

Re: Biggest Xmas Present
 

Thanks Jo :)


Gardening isn't really my think so hopefully maintaining it wont be too bad - or I guess I can pay someone :lol:

Re: Biggest Xmas Present
 

Thanks OE :)

There is a very large water tank in the garden and fixed watering system which is obviously working as it was a pretty dry winter. I'll just have to make sure it stays that way :lol:

Re: Biggest Xmas Present
 

Gawler is a lovely place to live. Large country town.

We used to take the train to the city,as it was cheaper than running the car and paying for parking.

Enjoy

May have spoke too soon :(

Heard that they may be a problem with the LMI so got to wait until next week to see if we're all good (hopefully if nothing else goes wrong). Feeling gutted :(

There may be copious amounts of alcohol in my not to distant future :(

Re: Biggest Xmas Present
 

:fingerscrossed:

Re: Biggest Xmas Present
 

Congratulation Sparkles, it looks a lovely home. May you and young Spark have many, many years of happiness there.

Re: Biggest Xmas Present
 

Whats LMI ? (Last minute Information ??)

Re: Biggest Xmas Present
 

Think it's called LMI - mortgage insurance since I don't have 20% deposit :(

Re: Biggest Xmas Present
 

Re: Biggest Xmas Present
 

It was a no go :(

Back to house hunting :(

Re: Biggest Xmas Present
 

So sorry.

:fingerscrossed: you get your dream house soon.

Re: Biggest Xmas Present
 

Gutted for you.Im sure you feel sad and disappointed but it may be a blessing in disguise.Good luck house hunting again.:fingerscrossed:

Re: Biggest Xmas Present

::waits for Badge to read the rest of the thread::

So sorry, OS - it's awful when you think you've found the one. But, there's probably a much better one waiting for you at the next open house :)
