We've finally found 'the house' after three houses falling through over the past 3 years. We weren't really looking ( had abandoned hope) but it has been on the market for a while, we had a look around and it's perfect! We got it for a good, but not bargain, price, well within our budget.
Our house has an offer ( below the asking price) . They are first time buyers ( but older and with good jobs).
We've had a difficult lockdown. My business suffered a lot, FIL sadly died, there was a pay-cut ( but jobs are safe), we missed a trip to visit family in South Africa. But this feels like one good thing to come out of this time for us.
It all feels too good to be true. I'm so keen for it to happen. This is just the sort of house I imagined raising my children and (not yet acquired) Labrador in. It feels like there are so many things that could go wrong.
Please, if you are in this boat, come and share your excitement and trepidation because I think my husband is finding this conversation a bit boring now.....
