I cannot believe this is my house now!

We’ve just sold a very standard 90s 3 bed semi (which we loved and I was really sad to leave because I’ve never felt more at home anywhere!) and bought a 4 bedroom period home with heaps of original features and significant to the local area.

It is the sort of house I have always admired when walking past and fantasised over on Rightmove. It’s so pretty! I’ve always wanted a pretty house.

I am wandering around in absolute awe that this is my house now! It’s a proper grown ups house - I almost feel like someone is going to turn up and say “no sorry not for you, you can’t actually afford it”.

I cannot believe this is my house now!

Congratulations! It’s a beautiful house!

EmeraldRoulette · 29/10/2026 20:55

Wow, congratulations

someone I worked for said when she got a detached house, she kept walking round and round it because she couldn’t believe it was hers.

I live in a one bedroom flat! Enjoy your house!

Congratulations Op. I get that feeling. We have had some hard times, but have moved off the family rented farm, after saving for 30 odd years. I walk round each day. I can paint you. I can weed you. I don’t need to ask permission to cut you down. It is mad!

Enjoy your lovely house! One of the team I manage is completing tomorrow (on a place significantly nicer than mine, the financially responsible bastard! Wink) and I’m so excited for him! And now for you!

Beautiful home!

EconomyClassRockstar · 29/10/2026 21:06

Congratulations! I love that feeling. Whenever I turn the corner and see my home. I'm like, "That house is gorgeous. And OOH!!! It's mine!"

Arbourimage · 29/10/2026 21:07

Well done!
I also regularly walk around my house a few years on and think ‘I can’t believe I live here!’ It’s a great feeling.

CallMeFran · 29/10/2026 21:07

Looks beautiful. I remember waking up the first morning in the house we live in now and I couldn’t believe my luck in owning it.
I hope you’ll be very happy.

@Flannelfeet ”They call me isa in Scotland”

to me that means you are a tax-free vehicle for saving 😂😂😂

Growlybear83 · 29/10/2026 21:08

Congratulations! I know just how you feel - we moved a couple of months ago and I feel like that about our new house. We moved out by about three miles from a ridiculously priced area of south London and were able to buy a much larger house in much better condition for the same price as we sold our house.

Picture under review ffs. 🙄

CreepingCrone · 29/10/2026 21:11

Its so lovely, congratulations! I moved into my own place in April, and I still can't believe its mine. I've got imposter syndrome and expect someone to tell me it's a mistake and kick me out!

WitchesBritches · 29/10/2026 21:15

Congratulations!! it is indeed a 'proper' House 🤗💐

So if this is what a proper grown ups house looks like, do you think those of us who don’t have a house like this are not proper grown ups? What about people who live in … flats their whole lives - are they failing at life? Because this is basically the implication of what you’ve said

It must be exhausting to go around trying to be triggered by everything.

I could honestly play a part in that series myself. My local was used in the hogmanay special "Hootenanny". Still laugh that they came to this "shitehole" 🤣🤣🤣.

Maybe just say congratulations to the OP for her lovely house?

Not everything is about you….

Porkpieandmustard · 29/10/2026 21:35

Congratulations. It looks lovely.
