@Paddingtonthebear You guys had the great house, with the dodgy extension right? Wishing you luck with the search. 18 months is a blooming long time x

Yes we pulled out of that one as no PP or building regs. Found something else, all systems go, got the searches done and then the vendors had their mortgage offer withdrawn so they can’t sell and we are back to square one. Loads of reductions in our area but everything for sale in our budget is basically the dregs. Need to complete by March otherwise we lose our mortgage rate. No pressure 😂

@Starseeking, that will give you lots of time to plan. No renovations needed here, the extension is quite large and was done 5 yrs ago. I would like to update the decor upstairs, and maybe new bathroom (it is modern but very dark and I don't like it). But nothing urgent needed. I would like to do a loft conversion in the future though.
Saying that, the boiler (which was in the loft) started leaking about 2 weeks after I moved here. It was old and I knew I would have to change it. But new boiler is in new, and moved downstairs into the utility room, which saves me heading into the loft in case of any other issues. The new boiler also leaked but that is another story! All good now, and wishing you the best of luck with those pesky tradespeople

Just coming back to say that after nearly 2 years, 38 house viewings and 4 fallen through sales, we are due to complete our purchase today! Just waiting for the phone call 🥳
