Moving to Cardiff (area) - ideas and suggestions

Did the EA send their extra pics through? It must be pretty bad if they don't put them up

[SOULCREW]

i just had a quick nose at whats available...i dont go into the village much so i dont see whats up for sale.

i agree that that one house is a bit ott !!

[Tyre Tread]

No, I just checked in case they went to spam and no pictures and no call from the person who has been to the property either.

Probably too busy composing more irrelevant flannel about cream tea in the garden.

Genuine LOL! Thanks, I needed that.

You know we said budget was heading north?

Could always lease the paddock to some horsey types...

Or this is nice.

You bd! Whimper! Gulp, Erm, not that far north.

I could have this which is just up the road and a bit cheaper though
http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/prope...the price is for the plot only!

ETA: Got the second one saved but I'd have to beat them down a fair bit.

Tyretread - this is my neck of the woods so if you have any questions, fire away.

Thanks!

Where can I find a spare £100K lying around?

That's one question I can't assist with.

[Tyre Tread]

Well Mr Osborne has helped a bit.

Renting will be a sensible option. Gives you time to really get to know an area. Renting with a dog shouldn't be that much of an issue. You may have to pay a slightly higher bond to cover any additional cleaning costs when you move out. It's how I get round the issue with my tenants.

Car storage needn't be an issue either, there are specialist storage companies around.

Thanks Soulcrew. The first is a semi detached with no garage so a nono.

The second looks OK if a bit clinical but I don't like the "Offers in excess of ..." bit as it looks liked a lot has sold they expect more than that and it would stretch the budget.

Those have been on the market for ages.. Could be worth going in with a cheeky offer? Prices have been rising fast this year locally and a lot has sold in the village but these have stuck around...

Interesting. Thanks for that.

Yeh, I think you'd be paying for the location and the "Approximately 1.45 Acres Including Extensive Parking, Beautiful Gardens, Heated Swimming Pool, Woodland and Paddock" as much as anything.

But I did say it must be detached.

Job applications have commenced - please keep fingers crossed for me. It will affect what we buy I think.

Viewings of our place continue as the couple who offered on our have over priced theirs and they are having lots of viewings but no sale.

I reckon their next move will be that they will reduce their price if we reduce ours. Place your bets.

[DHE]

Tell them you will talk prices when they have a buyer in a proceedable position. Until then, any offer is worthless. Empty vessel's make the most noise and all that.

Interview next Wednesday at 11.00AM - Early start for me then.

Interview one seemed to go well. Interview 2 booked for Monday afternoon.

Another 7 hour round trip for a 45 minute interview though!!! Ho hum, the joys of relocation.

[hornetrider]

7 hours?! I thought you said Midlands, not Highlands
