Yup, it’s happening. We’re moving again! Yesterday we exchanged contracts on the new house with completion set for today! (HURRAH!) We received our final searches back last week and ever since we’ve been trying to exchange contracts, but for one reason or another, it kept getting delayed and delayed. But finally, here we are – home owners again for a second time!
From the moment we put the offer in on this house, we never genuinely believed we would ever actually own it! We paid a whopping £2k over the asking price to secure it against a rival cash buyer and we never really thought it would be accepted. From there on, we worried about our mortgage offer not matching up to what we needed, but remarkably our purchase went through smoother than we could ever have imaged! If only the sale of the old house could have been so simple eh?
So, all that aside, I just can’t wait to get stuck in! I don’t tend to fall in love with houses, I just see potential and a place I could live. I’ve never felt that ‘feeling’ I’ve heard others describe, but with this house, I did. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to leave!
So it’s been 10 months since we listed our first house for sale, 1 month since we sold and moved in with Grants parents, a whopping 18 houses we viewed, and it all comes down to today and this house. A new place to call home… Watch this space!
