how do you physically view houses when they are far away from where you live? like, for moving house

[nailpolish]

dragging the girls around house viewings is bad enough without the houses being 2 - 2.5 hrs away initially

how do we do it?

dh lives in the city we (think) we will be moving to?

do i Trust Him to view these houses alone?

what did you do

god i WISH i could call on Phil and Kirstie

there is that fimbo. when we last moved house (19 months ago) the person who bought our house asked for an entry date 4 months after the deal had closed

I viewed several houses via the internet, saw our current house once before buying it. DH didn't see it until the day we moved in.

We like it a lot but might eventually move for more land.

I also researched the area using the internet as we'd never lived in the county before.

Welcome to my life!

I am looking at the moment and in the same position. What I do is to ring the estate agent and grill them! I have also spoke with all the other mums in the playground to find out if any of them knows anyone in the vicinity of where we are looking. Bingo! Found a woman who lives about 5 minutes from where we have arranged viewings. Grilled her about the area/schools/people etc...and got a very good idea of what I should expect.

Going there tomorrow to view...

Good luck!
