We've bought a house!
2 Attachment(s)
Things have been manic over the last month! :eek:
Soooooooooo much to arrange, shippers, cats, flights, blah blah blah...... Our house went unconditional last week so we decided to buy a house back home instead of rent (because rentals weren't coming up, the ones that did wouldn't take cats, and they're very silly money). Also, because of the market back there we thought we'd try and grab a bargain......and we did ;):D For everyone else still trying to sell, keep your chins up, it'll happen even though at times you feel it won't. Look at me: 4 years, a gallon of tears and indecision, 6 months of trying to sell the house, and now it's almost my turn to get out of here and go back to where I belong. Never thought it would happen, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that nothing goes wrong. Here's a piccie of the view out the back! Sheer heaven! The stream is at the bottom of the garden.:wub: |

Re: We've bought a house!
Thanks for everyone's good wishes.:wub:
We're heading back to Ivybridge in Devon, all originally based on sdunx recommendations! So if it's crap mate....you are so in it!!!:rofl: We started investigating the area and it looked lovely. Then we looked at schools and couldn't believe the high standards, especially the high school, it's fantastic. Then we looked at houses and were pleasantly surprised at the value for money at the moment. So, major thanks go out to you Stu for giving us the 'heads up' about this lovely place! :D As for buying the house, we have eyes and ears on the ground in the area, and then there's the in laws who went and viewed the house armed with a camera and fresh batteries. They called us and gave us a full commentary, ten million photos were whizzed through cyber space, Google Earth was examined thoroughly, and offers began to fly around. Now that's a done deal. And, today I booked the flights home. The amount of times I've walked past The Flight Centre in Lakeside wishing I could go in there and book to get us all out of here and today I did it. It felt bloody good I can tell you! We leave at 4.30pm on 9th October :thumbsup: I seriously cannot believe that after 4 years of being here it's almost over. |
Re: We've bought a house!
