We've found a new home!

[bluespirit]

Woohoo!  After several months of looking (& getting fairly disheartened) we've finally found a really lovely bungalow & they've accepted our offer!
The legal wheels are now in motion (we got a huge pile of documents to read, fill in & return this morning) & hopefully things will run fairly smoothly & we should be moving in a couple of months. *fc*

The property is being flipped by a developer, & so everything has been refurbished - new wiring, plaster, windows, doors, bathroom, kitchen, boiler, central heating - it's like a brand new home. I'm actually so relieved as I really didn't fancy taking on any big reno projects. *g*
It's in a really pretty village that is a little farther out into the countryside than where we are now, & there are lots of lovely walks for us to explore with Bud.  We really love where we live now, & so it had to be the 'right' place to tempt us to leave.  And being on one level means no more stairs for Bud to climb! Yay!

I know that nothing is definite until the contracts are exchanged, etc, but I'm so happy about this! \o/

Oh, how wonderful. It sounds lovely.

I shall keep things crossed that everything goes smoothly.

*Hugs*

Thanks, N.
It's all a bit nerve-racking, as you no doubt know, but at least our chain is short. So, fingers crossed it goes okay!

I still remember, yes.

I do hope it all goes through smoothly and the three of you are in your new home very soon now.

Wonderful news! Good luck with the process, and congrats!

Thank you!
It's a bit of a protracted legal/financial process over here but hopefully things will be okay. *fc*

Congratulations! It's always nice to move into a home where you don't have to fix anything. Hope all goes well with the legal stuff. I always feel like I should be signing in blood when it comes to all that.

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Yeah, there's so much stuff to do & the legalese is a little dense in places! *g*

It will be lovely not to have to start renovating when we move in. :)

Maybe?

Re: Maybe?

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Definitely. :)

Oh what lovely news!!

Congratulations - you deserve it after waiting so long!

Countryside sounds very good . . . Bud will have the time of his life, I'm sure.

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Thanks, S.
We've always thought we were fortunate to be so close to the countryside here & with access to so many lovely walks, but this will be even closer. The Staffordshire Way will be just 2 mins walk from our front door! \o/

awesome news!!

care to share some pictures? it sounds like a lovely place you've found!

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

I'll try to sort some out. :)

[sgamadison.livejournal.com]

I love that you chose a home with Bud's ability to climb stairs in mind. :-)

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Bud's the reason that we're moving now rather than later, to be honest. He's 10 now & still very active, but he does have a touch of arthritis in his hips & I don't want to get to the point where he can't climb the stairs. (He sleeps in our room & would be distraught if he couldn't get upstairs.) So, of course - we're moving house! *g*
