We have not found a new place yet… We are moving down to Frome, and it’s slim pickings there currently. we’re not gonna rush into buying somewhere we don’t both really like, so it’s looking we’re just gonna rent somewhere for a year…. Which I’m not over the moon about, but meh…. Hopefully it won’t be for more than a year.
We went to look at a show home for a new build development that will be ready next summer, that was actually really nice, but I’m not sure how I feel about living in a brand new house TBH. But finding somewhere with 3 / 4 beds, off street parking, a decent garden and a garage is proving incredibly difficult! (The new build ticks all these boxes)

Yeah, supply seems to be the real issue. Hoping we won't have to go down the rental route.

I've had two new builds now (including the current place) and the two biggest positives are modern building techniques; ie knowing where all the wires are, that all the walls are straight and that everything is in warranty for 10 years and the lack of a forward chain.
Of one of those can vary drastically depending on the quality of the builder...

We were looking on and off for almost three years; missed one, bought the second. Not 100% what we wanted, and more than we wanted to spend, but couldn’t face waiting another two years. Nothing’s come to market that ticks those boxes since we put the offer in feb either.
Are you looking at the printworks? Nice location for the action at the station and a short walk down to the river and the paths Feltham way. Rental market seems pretty sparse and pretty spicy right now.

Hah - not quite yet. Have 21 scheduled viewings for it for Saturday - madness.
Also a place we like the look of has come (back) up and they are happy to let us view it on Saturday, despite not being proceedable when they heard the address and the amount of interest.
