  • Our buyers surveyor coming tomorrow- ours is a 4 year old house with 6 years left on the guarantee. Just had our offer accepted on a 1930s bungalow near Bath :)
    Having a few palpitations about the cost as it’s double what we paid for the house we’re selling but we blasted the mortgage so have a nearly half the price of the new house deposit. Scary stuff- just hope stamp duty comes down before we sign on the dotted line. Eek

  • Exciting times. We also have a bungalow, but from the 70's. Ours was a big stretch too but we took the view that it was as sound an investment that you could have, therefore moving it on should always be possible if things got too tight. You should have the same security given where you are going. We both love bungalow living now, and while all types of places have their own pros and cons, on the balance of it I think they are great, we have no intention of changing anytime soon.

    Hope it is a smooth sale.

    Does yours need much work?

  • Very exciting - got our mortgage approved and our are buyers moving things along so it's apparently quite straighforward currently.
    We're going for a Level 3 building survey but the seller is very house proud and looks to have kept the place in tip top (if not to our taste) condition. We can move straight in with tons of parking and a double length garage with a load of windows tucked away to do some bike / car pottering . Welding practice etc...!
    We're planning on just enjoying living in it and getting to know it , how we use things for a couple of years before probably doing some works on it (great daydream plans at the moment) .
    Fingers crossed it continues along smoothly :)
