House Sale
Monday, January 17, 2005
We recently started to step up the search for our new house, since we started to get some interest in our house just after Christmas. After viewing 4 houses over 2 weeks ago we settled on one house the far side of Baswich. I think Maxine knew I wasn't that keen on the house, but would accept it if nothing better came up.
Then we had a viewing on our house and the people seemed very keen, so I stepped up the search again. A house had just come on the market in Weeping Cross, just up the road and withing walking distance from both Baswich Library (where Maxine works) and Leasowes school (one of the schools we want our children to go to). I thought it can't be that good at that price, but I persuaded Max to view it with me anyway. Well, we both fell in love with it. The rooms are all excellent sizes, a new kitchen, new central heating, new bathroom, new block paved drive (with no grass to mow - fabulous). The back garden is at least twice as long as our existing garden and there is great potential to extend. We couldn't ask for more.
The next day, we put an offer in (below the asking price of course) and it was excepted. Just our house to sell then. The same day, we had an offer on our house (below the asking price of course), but within reason, so we accepted it.
Guess we'll be busy for the next couple of months, so posts here may be in their few, but keeping visiting since i won't stop posting completely.
