Bungalow Before Pictures

So there won't be too much to report in the coming weeks as I wait for the purchase to go through (touch wood). I have instructed a surveyor to do a homebuyers report which will hopefully be done next week. I went round to have another look at the place last weekend and took some pictures. One thing that struck me was that the bathroom was smaller than I thought and there is only just room to put in a small bath. The other options are to move the wall into the kitchen a bit to give more space but I am pretty sure it is a load baring wall. However, it still might be worth doing as there is enough room in the kitchen to take it and a bigger bathroom would be a big selling point and might be worth the extra cost. I will get some quotes as soon as I get the keys.

Waiting Game

So it will likely be a waiting game for a while as the contracts start going through the solicitors. UK property transactions are notable for taking a long time and usually take at least 2 months. I am holding off getting my survey done until my buyers have done theirs just in case they decide to pull out for any reason.

Offer Accepted

So yesterday I had my offer accepted on a bungalow that needs modernisation. This is my second home modernisation project but my first bungalow and the first one I will have to live in while doing the work. I am hoping that the purchase will go through in 2 months so I can start work in May but these things tend to take on a life of their own so who knows what will happen!
