Right. So they've accepted our offer. We have survey/valuation all done. We seem to be nearly at exchange of contracts.
But we only saw the house once. Weeks ago. Can't remember half the details and keep staring at the bad Rightmove photos. I'm even looking at the neighbours identical house on Rightmove because they have a floorplan up and ours doesn't. I am so sad I even drew a floorplan by copying the neighbours one and reversing it as they are mirror image houses. I like floorplans.
When we viewed it we loved it, but thought it totally out of our budget. We went round just to see if it needed loads doing and might be prepared to drop. It didn't. I decided to put our best offer in as we had nothing to lose. DH officially said he washed his hands of the whole affair, no point in a second viewing, they wanted offers over 232k, they'd never drop, why had I shown him that lovely house, now he was spoiled for all the others in our price range. They said no. We scraped another 3k in loans and they then got their new build knocked down by 5k to meet our offer at 220k.
So, to help refresh our memories before the fine detail of what's included and not in the contract we've organised another visit on Sunday.
Top tips please! I know to check whose fence is whose; peer in loft; find out if they receive freeview; ask if gas fire works......
What else? I am not looking to renegotiate, it's in good condition and built in the 1990's so not a lot of skeletons - I just feel we need to view again to get it clear in our heads .... very vague sorry, DS was up at 6am and woke DD and I and we all watched cbeebies played far too long today.
