After months of auctions and builder's reports and reviewing properties, me and other, better, half have finally bought a house through auction.

As of our settlement date (October 8th 2010), we have two levels, four bedrooms, two living areas, 2 bathrooms, 1 kitchen, 2 shower rooms, 1 dining area, 1 TV area, 1 decent-sized front garden, 1 huge back garden, a car port, an expansive deck opening from the dining area, and all of this on 650m2. Swimming pool is next (I'm told).

Absolutely ******* stoked!

IBT bro story cool etc. Just happy and wanted to share that with you :)

cheers,
mags.
 
Aye, we're in Auckland, NZ, so the view from the upstairs part of the house looks over the Sky Tower/City/Waterfront and beyond. I'll check if our camera has some rad shots or not, otherwise I'll have to post some crappy shots from as estate agent. Or not.

anant - don't know about enjoying paying the mortgage but we kind of have to. Legal implications and all that. But thanks for your help.
 
Brool story co,

Congratulations! Well done! :)
Are the prices over there as expensive as UK? Particularly London? Over here a 3 bed terraced house will go for £290,000. :eek:

Depends entirely. I lived in Thames Ditton for a few years and even then £290k would have got you next to nothing. And that was 6 years ago.

Auckland is expensive. London is, too. Meh.
 
Congratulations, it's a big moment in ones life to be buying a house so I hope everything goes smoothly - I believe it ranks pretty highly in the worry/stress stakes after funerals and major illness. I'm still years away from all that nonsense though. :)

Aye, marriage, death of partner/spouse/family member, financial issues, buying a house, selling a house, ... that's pretty much in your top ten "got to be in there" numbers!
