I have always spend time working on cars, but living in a rented house was frustrating at times... you want to change something but can't or shouldn't or need to get permission first... so we saved and bought a house
So a bit more on our old house, we lived in a listed 3 storey converted pub function room... it was kinda strange but really quirky. We learnt a lot about what we liked and didn't like and it helped us make the right choice when we came to buy.
We started looking back in October last year and looked at 22 houses... we looked at everything from a 600 year old cottage without foundations and an inglenook fireplace, a run down ex farm workers house and a whole load of other things...
We decided to go for a mid-terraced ex-authority house, it has so much space and appeared to be built pretty well, a large garden for our budget and great location... basically everything we wanted EXCEPT THE GARAGE!
Everything went through smoothly with the exception of a couple of little things on the survey, mostly a little bit of damp and some rodents to discourage...
I've since done a few things to the place and thought it would be good to start a bit of a thread
