We didn’t put the offer in life.
We thought about it. But the family are moving because they need more space. The house had planning approved to extend downstairs.
Dh estimated the extension alone would cost us £50k minimum. He’s based this on fils gf’s extension costs to her house. Which is similar. He also knows that the cladding on the house has asbestos in it. It’s a 70’s build. So we’d have to do something about that - on the back of the house if didn’t look in very good condition so it’d need to be done sooner rather than later. So more ££.
The more we thought about it the more we’re weighing up buying a bigger place now to give us the space we want. But still not maxing ourselves out. We could stretch to a 4 bed of up to £700k (sounds ridiculous but that would be nothing “special” here) which would give us more space. It’s mean less money to invest for the future and possible working longer.
We also think we should wait until we have a court date for the sale of ours.
So. Waiting. Patiently. And back on the declutter train. Wooowoooo.
I’ve ditched my old bras. Kept the bigger ones i had when I was pregnant and obviously the new ones Not much size difference. But will replace these once they start looking shabbier.
Am aiming to take three bags to charity shop/tip (as applicable) this week.
Much easier now we have a car park space. I can fill the car and do a tip run at lunchtime without the worry of finding a space back in the public car park...!
