Tarot Reading? Property Advice ......

[babysbreath]

I not quite sure if I am in the right place, but would appreciate some help.

I don't like the house I am living in and would like to move. So I am always trawlling the Rightmove website looking at houses in my area.

On Sunday I came across a property in my area that I have fallen in love with, but the problem is that it is above our price bracket even after selling our own house and looking at the photos it needs a bit of work doing. I really would love this to be my forever home.

Is there anyone on here that can see, saying using Tarot cards, if it is something if we went for we could get.

I keep looking at this property, as my heart has fallen in love with it, but my head says how will you afford it and do the work as well.

If anyone can help - may be through a reading on here, it would be much appreciated.

Hope the above makes sense!

Right, at the risk of offending people, if anyone comes along and says they can see whether or not you are sucessful in buying this particular house by reading tarot cards they are bullshitting you.

I read tarot - it is a tool that can help you determine how you feel about things, and help you choose which path you may want to go down, but it will NOT tell you your future - that is up to you. So, a reading may help you see whether a move may be positive for you, but no more than that. If you feel like divination may help you make decisions, maybe you could try pendulum dowsing - it will give you straight forward yes or no answers to your questions.

If you want this particular house you have to take action to make it happen. If you hate where you live then first things first, get your house on the market and sold so that when your dream house comes up you are ready to move and in a stronger position to negotiate a lower price. If it is where you really want to be then you will cope with doing the work bit by bit as you have the time and money. Just be prepared to be perpetually skint and have no social life while you spend your weekend battling ancient artex or grouting tiles (i know of what i speak!).

Hope i don't sound overly stern. If it encourages you, our house was way over what we could afford, but we stuck to our guns, didn't come across to keen, and got it in the end for what we could afford. Of course that depends on how much the vendor needs to sell - luckily for us they really needed to move. Best of luck.

RedMolly thank you for your response. What you have written makes complete sense to me.

I would like to get our house on the market now and start the proceedings, but my husband says we are better to wait until the Spring. I just want to get going now, and i am suppose I am afraid that we will never move from this house.

Thank you once again, you did not come over stern!

If he's being a bit reluctant to move right now, perhaps you could use the time to start putting the basics in place - anything you need to do to make your current house more saleable, get together all the info you need for prospective purchasers, getting your finances in place and so on. Then, come spring it will be hard for him to put it off any longer! I did notice that you hadn't actually been to see the house that you've fallen in love with - it might be worth going to see it, just to see if it really is what you think.

Incidentally, if you are interested in tarot, you can get your own deck (just chose one that resonates with you) and a couple of decent books that will give you the basics, though you do need to trust your intuition too to do a meaningful reading.

We have been to see the property and we both fell in love with it, but and it is a big but, it needs to be completely gutted and then redesigned. We could just about scrape together the finances to buy it but then would not have the funds to do it up and rent somewhere as it would not be possible to live in it while the work is being done.

I suppose there's the option of living in a caravan on site if there is room, though that isn't for everyone. Alternatively, if you can make a couple of rooms habitable you may be able to live there even if it is a wreck - we've done it (no kitchen or bathroom etc) and it isn't much fun, especially if you have dc. Depends if the rewards are worth the sacrifices for you.

At least going to see this house may help you to work out what you really want and what is or isn't practical for you. I still think the main thing for you to do if you're sure you want to move is get your house sold first, even if you have to go to rented for a while after - it is heartbreaking if you do find your dream home and then can't move because your stuck with your old one, and it can take quite a while to sell in the current climate. Blimey, i've morphed into Kirsty Allsop!

I constantly fall in love with houses I can't afford ....depressing isn't it.
