My offer on my dream home was just accepted and I am sale agreed on my house.

It has all happened very quickly and I am thrilled. I know it could all still fall apart, but I am already planning my new life.

It has just struck me I am spending half a million pounds on a house I have spend ten minutes in. There is loads I don’t know. Nothing that would change the sale - but silly little things like is the roof space floored, is there a light. Is the water pressure any good. What are the neighbours like. Does the garden get sun (I should be able to work this out but cant😂). Is there an outdoor tap. Is there a door bell. WHat is the broadband like.

I haven’t asked whether the carpets, curtains and blinds are staying.

Sorry just lying awake reflecting. On the huge decision I have made totally on my own and wondering what big things I have forgotten about when I have missed all these little things.

Go for a second look? Our buyer is coming again this week to spend longer here and ask more questions.

Okay the map thing with he garden. Anyone know how hat works on google earth?

Google Earth is brilliant, I only "discovered" it a couple of weeks ago, and now I can't get off it! I've identified my future dream home based on flying over the garden, and seeing the grounds.

It's really easy to use, you just type Google Earth into the search bar, then when it's finished loading, put the property postcode into the search bar and it'll take you straight there. Google Earth has Google Maps embedded, so you can do a 3D rotation, the walk down to the street looking at the other houses through Street View.

I find it most interactive on my phone, as I can use two fingers to rotate the page really easily, whereas I can't do the same on my laptop.

If you've got a gut feeling about the place OP, go for it. If my aforementioned future dream house came on for sale, I would even buy it without viewing, as it's in the perfect location and has a huge garden for an extension. Anything else about the house can be changed over time.
