Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Sorry to hear about the house but good luck with viewing the other one . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunty e Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 Well, I went to the auction, and the house sold for considerably more than we offered, and more than we'd have been prepared to pay I think. Anyway, as we didn't have the money there and then, it wasn't going to happen. BUT we may well have the other one, we've put an offer in, which was rejected, but they've given us a very strong hint that if we can go a little bit higher, then the place is ours. So am speaking to OH at lunchtime and fingers crossed, we may have a lovely suburban paradise to call our own and bye-bye to Hackney If they accept our offer, I'll post a link to the estate agents blurb for your delectation...

Aunty e Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 It's ours We have to move quickly, but that's ok because we can! It's this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Congratulations! Looks lovely - I'm very 5 bedrooms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunty e Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 Two of the bedrooms are very small, but that's ok, because we have very small people to put in them (or we will). It's the garden I'm excited about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I thought you said it needed a lot of work, it looks immaculate and what a fab garden! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunty e Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 This is the one we're paying a bit more for, because it doesn't need a lot of work! It's really out of our price range, but we're going to have the mortgage over a bit longer to make it work. So much room for chickens! And although it shouldn't be our first thought, mine actually was that we would be unlikely to lose another cat to the road on a cul de sac, with a huge back garden We have cunning plans for an extension, as when estates and death duties are sorted out in a year or so, we will inherit a bit of money. I'm thinking lovely open plan kitchen/diner across the back.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkysmum Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Hello auntie e, what a fantastic house Is it yours Were you successful with your offer I hope it's yours Allisonx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Congratulations! It looks fantastic, especially the garden (how many chickens can you get in there ...) Best of all - you're going to be about a mile away from where I live! So any time you want chicken-sitting or cat care, give me a shout. In fact, let me know when you're moving in and I'll come round with a cake! PS I love the description 'space for small pond'. Does that mean they dug a hole but didn't finish it off, or just that it looks as if a pond would fit there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
