efail isaf and the surroundign area is lovely. easy for commuting to cardiff/M4 and just about counts as non suburbia.
TT's budget could stretch a fair way for a place in the area
It seems so. The only bottleneck is the A470 junction which does get quite busy.TT's budget could stretch a fair way for a place in the area
There are some lovely looking houses up towards Llantrisant too, with plenty of space around them and nice grounds.
Sorry for the delay folks.
It seems the owner decided to play hardball and rejected our offer.
To cut a long story short, we stuck to our guns and the EA persuaded her to accept our offer (allegedly).
So, here it is: http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/prope...
Needs work but stuff we can do over time.
Time for a celebratory
And then we need to figure out how to pay for it. ;-)
Thanks to all for the help and advice over the last few months and hopefully we can show ourappreciation with a housewarming BBQ in the not too distant future (assuming the residents committee allow such things).

Thanks all.
I'm sure its the end of the beginning but only the beginning of the end. Fingers crossed that all goes smoothly.
We had a celebratory takeaway last night (Wok To Go in Birch Grove is highly recommended if a little expensive -- but you do get good size portions and good quality)
Sorry for bring such fusspots but we're by no means well off and its a hell of a commitment in our eyes.
There is no chain fortunately. Just us and the Vendor as as we've already sold ours and thanks to our landlord we're on a very flexible lease, hopefully we can get this through quickly.
I get the impression that vendor is in a similar situation to us and ants the capital freed up so she can buy herself a place where she's already moved to.
Now we need to start looking at what we do with it and where the money is coming from to do it. Oh yeah, I could get a job ;-)
Once again, we appreciate all of your input and we look forward to meeting you all.
Thanks again and we'll keep you up to date on developments.

That groovy 
carpet has already gone as has the bar 
I think the vendor had decided to begin tarting it up a bit to re-market.
The new carpet is a very boring beige
The bar is in the garage and I wonder if they will leave it there for me to dispose of. Its very 1970's
I think I'll have to creep in and out in the Tiv as much as possible as the neighbours are all quite elderly. One seemed to think that a Morgan would create equivalent noise levels to the Chim.
Could be interesting driving out of the garage too as the slope up out of the garage is quire steep so will require a few revs
I apologised to one of my elderly (late 80's) neighbours at my old house in case the noise of the Tiv in the garage bothered her. She replied, with a big grin on her face " Don't be daft, its one of the few things I can hear clearly these days"
I do miss Iris.
Just off to the Solicitors to drop off some documents and money so we can get the searches underway.

Remember as a buyer to screw the seller out of as many indemnity insurance policies as you can. Well that's what my buyer is doing anyway! Bitter, moi? You betcha! carpet has already gone as has the bar I think the vendor had decided to begin tarting it up a bit to re-market.
