  • Had an offer accepted on a house near us after six or so years living in an ex council gaff in a rough bit of Leyton. I am quietly freaking out and quietly ecstatic.

    It's definitely brown trousers time in terms of when we're buying, I know it's a risk, but I also don't think we'd have got it if the market wasn't in a period of turmoil, and we're both lifelong Londoners so it's not like we're moving anywhere else any time soon.

    I can't imagine what it might be like to have enough room and not have people above below and beside us.

  • Congrats!

    And, FWIW, I think the risk is considerably lower in London.

  • It's definitely brown trousers time in terms of when we're buying,

    I reckon everyone thinks this. There's always something going on that makes it seem a worrying time to buy. I remember thinking the same when I was buying (admittedly that was in summer 2020 when there was quite a bit of disruption).

  • Congrats! Remember this is the start of a long process with a high risk of not following through. Try not to worry to much and enjoy the ride.

    We moved out of a 1 bed flat into a 3 bed house 4 months ago, and I can confirm that its totally transformational to your quality of life.

  • And I'm gonna sound like a cunt here, but your new neighbours will be easier to live with.

    (I would have debated that until making a similar move ourselves)

    AMAZING, what @Jameo said really.

    Congrats.
