Crikey.
We've been planning on buying somewhere for a while, but we get married on the 17th of next month and had put house hunting on the back burner. Idly looking at the local market, seeing what's out there and so on.
We had a chat a few weeks ago, and the conclusion was "What are we waiting for really, buying a house takes forever right? Might as well start looking."
So we looked... booked a few viewings last Saturday. We viewed one in particular that was perfect for us. Loads of potential, large garden, room for a very large garage and lots of parking, room to extend in the future but definitely large enough as is. Went back on Sunday and brought my sister, and my other half's parents with us. They agreed... Put in an offer on Monday, bit of back and forth, offer accepted on Tuesday. Mortgage advisor on Wednesday. Solicitors instructed Wednesday. Heard from the MA today that mortgage company have agreed the loan and it's just waiting for the valuation. Dad's surveying the house on Tuesday, valuation is on Wednesday.
Holy ****! We get married in less than a month! What have we done?
