Afternoon all,

Thought I would create my own little thread about a new house me and the girlfriend has purchased, due for completion in September (they best get a move on!). This will be updated everytime anything exciting happens.

The House

This is the type of house we have purchased (3 bed, 3 storey):

It is an end plot on the estate, comes with gardens front & rear, private driveway & single garage.

1st Update:

Builders have dug the foundations and work starts on the brickwork!

Sorry nothing too exciting at the moment, however I will keep updating the progress as often as possible, I hope the weather stays dry as it is so they can crack on!

We have already purchased a corner sofa (ready for delivery in september) it is a nice size @ 3m x 2m.

I plan on having a nice HTPC setup in the front room, hoping by xmas we will have a 50" plasma or projector so this will be a continued thread including the furnishing of the house.

Hopefully will be of interest to some people!

Cheers

Graham

The 1st pic is the style of house (computer drawn image), the last pic is the actual plot of land and will eventually be ours!

Yeah so do I!

They are still saying that it will be finished on 10th Sept. They managed to get it from nothing to the bottom photo within 1 week!
 
It will be finished in time as most house builders throw them up as quickly as possible with few quality standards. Those that don't take longer and charge more.
 
Just beware - your builders have absolutely no obligation to finish your house in any specific timescale, but your mortgage agreement will have a limited time span.

Yup, which is a bit of a bummer. However the mortgage is live until 31st October, so fingers crossed gives them plenty of time!
 
If only you could set up some kind of time lapse without the inevitability of someone nicking the kit.
 
I will put good money on that not being done by Sept :o

Our house was a new build and took around 8 months and was 2 months late
