Who else is awake because they've decided to put an offer in for a house?

Hey it's a nice house! Type of house I wouldn't mind.. and only 30 miles away.

but alas I'm too busy trying to decorate the one I have lol

RoyMi6 · 12 Jun 2015 at 16:02

If you're only 30 miles away I'll come borrow that cordless trimmer!

Good stuff, well done

Congrats!

Uther · 30 Jul 2015 at 10:51

Excellent! Amazed at how quick it is in Scotland compared to England.

Richdog · 30 Jul 2015 at 10:54

Congrats, looks like a fantastic and spacious home in a nice and quiet countryside area!

I like the Flying Spaghetti Monster interior door.

May his noodly appendages bless your home.

Damit man! Now I'll never be able to unsee this!

It's funny that you English guys see it as fast - still seems to go at snails pace and definitely doesn't help that the banks and solicitors seem to manage to make everything more complicated and find any excuse for unnecessary delay.

Uther · 30 Jul 2015 at 11:52

Well we are seriously looking at moving up there, just accepted an offer on a house here this morning. Already had two offers fall apart when the buyers chains collapsed so the Scottish method looks a lot better.
See a house, make an offer (no mortgage) and be in within 6 weeks or so works for me!

That's not a door. It's a portrait of the previous owner, Cthulhu.

Well done on buying a house, very jealous.

I think i would take out the middle wall though on the bottom floor and remove the chimney from the bedroom. Been watching too much property brothers. Also I would add some french doors to the back bedroom and convert it in to a lounge/entertainment area rather than a bedroom.

Cosimo · 30 Jul 2015 at 12:15

Nice one

and don't forget the GD housewarming party!

Haha, love that other people do this as well - make plans well before it's a priority

Unfortunately the plans are the worst plans I've ever seen. That chimney on the plan isn't even actually there...

It looks more like this (still highly inaccurate)

I also think that would maybe be just a little too open plan for us

We're thinking something more like this and extending the current outcrop at the back and turning it into more of a sunroom off a larger kitchen that we move to where the dining room was.
