Fell in love at the first, going to try and be more practical today

What should I be looking for?

Neighbours - rent/ own/ animals/ is their garden kept nice etc
Parking- unloading shopping etc
Schools- catchment area etc
Boiler, gas (mains? Oil? LPG?)
electric - date installed
Windows- ledges, seals, frames

Where would your clothes go?
Attick/ garage/ storage?

Bathrooms- date changed? Type of shower? Tiles

Flooring- carpet/ laminate/ wood?

Garden- shed? Garage? Boundaries?

What's near it? Pubs? Go for a walk (sick/ litter from takeaways in street indication of area)

Check phone reception?

In kitchen- count cupboards (not built in appliencirs)

Where will your Hoover/ ironing board go?

Dining room - will table fit when extended?

Sorry a bit of a list there

Oh that's fab thanks so much.

How good the soundproofing is between rooms, floors and neighbours
If it's a new house this can be a particular problem - talking in one room when your DP goes and listens in another can give you an idea of how much transmission there is between rooms and floors.

Good one. Need to check plug sockets etc too

Storage where will all the towels and sheets go.

Any signs of damp. When was it last re-roofed.

How did it go op?

Fab. No alarm system and no airing cupboard. Both of which I can add if I'm really bothered. I love it .

Really don't like the kitchen but am pretty sure it'll paint up okay. It'll be our forever home if we get it, exciting times

Exciting! Have you put an offer in? Good luck!

Not officially offered yet. Going to phone on Monday. Friends of ours want to by our current house but have to sell there's first. Would ideally like to move in August as dd starts school and dc3 due Oct...

Think will have to put this on market on case friends can't sell theirs.

Buy

Jesus, and theirs

Sorry - long day and baby brain.

That's brilliant. Nice to have potential buyers lined up already! That could save you a nice chunk of estate agent fees.

And I'd love them to have it cause they love it as much as we do, we just need more space. I'll be sad to leave here but delighted to live there iykwim
