Update
One of Dh's clients asked to see apartment on Thursday, through the agents. He phoned them back 9am next day with very positive feedback. Apparantly he is VERY interested but would like to get an independent valuation before he puts his offer in. He is also buying another property which he did the same for. DH has already checked out with his collaegue and this guy is genuine and normally says what he means, and his finances has never been an issue. He is also in NO chain
Not really sure what that means for us - how long will he take over it? will he put in an offer? Who knows - but signs are good I guess.
Been to see another two houses today for ourselves, both on same street. The second one we saw wasn't suitable as bit too small and garden was a bit child unfriendly.
First house we really like. Needs a bit of titivating to make it ours, but nothing major.
It is here: House we like enough to register interest
We would use the front sitting room as a dining room, and the back extended room as a large family room. I'd also re-paint this white or some form of cream/beige.
The kitchen isn't fitted so we need to get new kitchen stuff, even cooker. Been to price some up though this afternoon and that isn't a problem.
Bathroom we would replace and retile, but not immediaitely. More of a spring/summer project. It isn't large but better use of the space would be easy to do. Can't remember flooring, but we'd do that too.
Back big room would be Mollie's. We'd sand and paint those huge wardrobes - and repaint everywhere pink and princess like Flooring needs changing, as I didn't like the blue carpet for Mollie.
Front bedroom for us was fine as it is for now. Would repaint lighter colour (beige or similar) later next year.
Tiny room would, hopefully, become a nursery sometime in the future and we'd re decorate it then.
Hall carpet and decor was fine
Garden was nice size and decking lovely. Bakck half needs digging over, membrane down and bark covering it. Just a tidy round rest of it. Oh, and they are leaving a bug shed type structure which their girl's use as a play house, which we'd transform for Mollie.
Even has a garage
And catchment primary school is an excellent beacon school.
We are going to register our interest tomorrow morning, and if this bloke comes good we will put in an offer at full asking price.
What do you think?
