Looks nice. Did you get a survey on it and did you confirm that it has a Code of Compliance Certificate and all works have been fully permitted?

Re: OMG!!! Here only 6 days & we've bought a house!!
Unbelievable. This is all down to Jules - I am far too risk averse to want to buy a house so quickly after landing... however...
Jules saw the house on the net before we arrived and wanted to see it as we had already found a school near by that we got the three eldest kids into. The property had an open house on Sunday so we went along and discovered it was a tender that had to be submitted 4pm today. Jules went to see it again yesterday and decided it was the house for us.
Needs a bit of work, and needs a bit of money spent, so we put in what we thought was a reasonable tender, but quite a bit under the 'guide' price suggested by the realtor. To be honest we weren't holding out much hope... but hoped that our flexibility on settlement date might add some sway.
But we have just received confirmation that we have actually been successful. Can't believe it. Really.... can't believe it.
I know I am going to have to do a bit of DIY over the next couple of years, but am really happy.
In case anyone is interested... THIS IS OUR HOUSE

I agree with the others...doesn't look like it needs much work doing on it at all.
wishing you all the very best of fortune in your new abode!!!

What a fabulous house. You could fit mine into it and it wouldn't even get noticed!
Hope you and your family have many happy years there.
Well done Jules, excellent taste

. We are happy with our place but what you have was our dream, sea views etc..alas we could never afford a place like that let alone afford to live in Wellington..still Palmy's not that bad a place to be 'stuck'!!!! Can see why you made your mind up so quick..I would have too..If I'd had the fiscal wherewithall!! Good luck to you!!!!!!!! I think your house is very much like the reproduction spheres of our canine friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
