The Art of not losing it!

We are in the middle of moving house.
I say middle as we have just about sold ours, a beautifully 1880's terrace. But we were gauzumped on the property we were buying.
Initially I was heart broken but it made us reevaluate what we wanted in a house and we eventually realised that a 'project' could be the best option for us.

After looking at all the remaining houses on the market we went to see the house that was last on our list, a terrace currently in flats.
Well something happened when we walked through those doors and the untapped potential jumped out at us straight away.

After a sleepless weekend and countless conversations we decided to put an offer in. Eventually a couple of hours and numerous phone calls later we agreed a price.

So where are we now? Well playing the waiting game. We need the house to pass its survey without too many issues. In the meantime I am researching, learning and gathering as much information about renovation as possible.

So have I learnt the art of not losing it? Nearly, would be the answer but I now understand why they say buying a house can be the most stressful time of your life.

Watch this space who knows what will happen next!
