Starting the House Hunt

So… Now that we have our mortgage in principle, our house hunting can officially begin J

My first step was to look online to see what properties in my area are for sale and which we could possibly be interested in. Now there were a few properties around, but some would have needed quite a bit of work doing to them, and that wasn’t what Sam and I were looking for.  So I printed off the details of a few other properties which I thought might be interesting, to show to Sam when he finished work.

Okay… Sam liked a few of the houses I picked and so that is promising! Haha! The only current issue that we have is that we need 3 months worth of wage slips to be able to finalise our mortgage and so as Sam only recently started his job in December, we need to what until the end of March to be able to do this.

Chances are that some of the houses we like the look of, might end up being sold before we are able to view them and make an offer. But at least we have been able to decide on the more important aspects such as; we need a garden, there needs to be space to park 2 cars, we would like a downstairs toilet, and we don’t care if we have a garage or not…

We also might go and take a look at some of the new homes that Persimmon are building near-by. Fingers crossed we find a few houses that we would love to live in J
