House im looking at

ive been really quite down lately tbh, Everything weve looked at has been s**te. Recently my dad agreed not to take as much money from us & just let me work to pay it back so our budget has risen a bit.



Ive always wanted to live in a proper english character property & I think this is as close as I will get. Hopefully my mum is going to see it tommorow if were lucky.

What dya think?

very different from my house but I really like that one korn.

Looks great! way better than where I live right now.

Very English indeed.

looks nice Korndawg....ive always enjoyed european architecture....whats the status of it?....any problems, say, like structural, foundation, water damage or anything?...how old is it? etc etc etc.... :smile: dont freak man, these are questions i ask all the time, being in the business....

Doc Brass... :dodgy:

Looks great.

Im afraid I dont know that much about it yet all I know is whats writteno n here:

Ok, took several billion phone calls & looking at maps but weve got a viewing for it at 8pm tonight. Wish me luck :S

Good luck mate :smile:

Love the interior with the wooden doors (I know doors generally are wooden - but they look wooden :wink: ), and the beams on the ceiling.

Best of luck :smile:

Looks great from some of the pictures at that link :smile: Good luck.

I looks like a really nice house one that I would love to live in cos I just love all really old houses that are out in the middle of nowhere.

Remember to ask about the neighbours! But I think it looks nice! Nice size bedrooms etc. I think, that by law, any known problems have to be disclosed if you ask. So make sure you ask. (I'm not entirely sure about that though).

The most important question when buying a house is "where is the damn broadband?"

Oh yeah, and I'll know where you'll live, so don't annoy me in the near distand future! :biggrin:

Hope ya get it bud!

Is this for HL1 or HL2?

it looks nice, my grandads house looks a bit like that. but proberly bigger :razz:

It looks nice and I agree with Alien Sniper... dont forget about the broadband!

it looks nice, my grandads house looks a bit like that. but proberly bigger :razz:

Well your grandad is nearly dead so it evens itself in the end.

jk :biggrin:

that was one of the most cosey & beautiful houses ive ever been in. Were going to put an offer in immediately tommorow morning. I'l be in tears if it doesnt all go right.

Good luck !

Looks really nice mate, very homely and cosey, as you said. Where about in England is Wymondham?

Anyway best of luck with it mate, hope you get it :smile:

east england. sort of north east middle of the head shaped bit on the right hand side.

Ive just heard, there are 3 offers on the table now :sad:

It will probably go to the person in the strongest position, Fortunately we have an investor wanting to buy our house so there is no chain. Thats a pretty strong position, but we'l just have to wait and see.

Im getting rather worried now :sad:

hang in there Korny....house hunting is one of my least favorite things to do in the entire world....the market here is not nearly as cutthroat as i imagine it would be in england, and i'd rather build em than listen to my ole lady fuss and whine about it....but in the end, she gets what she gets.....keep the faith bud.... :wink:

Doc B.. :dodgy:

EDIT>>> ya know, the more i think about it, i think i'd rather take a beating than go house hunting..... :biggrin:

Relax big man, houses are just houses, and pretty much all the ones you'll look at will be nice in their own ways :razz:

Good luck KoRnFlakes :smile:

my grandad is 90 :o

and there is noway he's leaving his house to anyone, yet :razz:

You don't want to hear my description of English

Why not, I'm sure it's funny.

korn, try to remember, a house is a house, just a material item.. its what you make of it that counts..

now a home, thats something special, and a lot harder to create, or find for that matter.

i live in a white trash 3 bedroom 2 bath wood frame house, nothing special about its looks, BUT when people come into it, they feel comfortable and want to visit.

houses on the other hand, people visit, sit on the edge of the furniture, and are fidgeting the whole time, till finally they make excuses and leave.

find, and make a home, forget what it looks like.

BTW, good luck my friend, on whatever you like :smile:

I know lads, thing is. This isnt too bad an area aswell & chances are il be ending up ina rougher area no matter what, I would however like to go here as I can train back to norwich quite quickly.

To make matters worse our buyer pulled out yesterday removing our good position. So much for that then, bastards!

well, We got another buyer & were sold now afaik. But some bastard cash buyer came & bought the lizard house.

Gotta look for some s**te elsewhere now.

why do you sound as if you must move soon?

i mean, buying a house is a big deal, to rush it is suicidal at least.

if i were forced to move before i was ready, i would put everything in storage and rent a motel room for a time.

My dad is owed a fair amount of what the house is worth & its best to get it done now.

somehow i think not, the replies are... in the form of someone a bit younger.

at least thats my impression.

Thats my brother.

You know, the first time I saw he house I'm in t this exact moment (I.E MY home) was when I was moving in. I think, to make a fairly broad statement, that to Men, a house is Bricks + Mortar, but it is more of a home to Women. Just speaking from my experience. In fact the first time I lived on my own, I let my Girlfriend choose it for me. Obviously, thats not to say it's not important what house you get if you're a guy but I think Women feel more as though a house is a home than Men do.

I gotta admit Korn, I don't Envy you, speaking as a person who has moved 8 times in the Last two years it ain't pleasant! I think Getting Married and Having Kids are also high on the stress levels, and also Changing Jobs, and getting divorced. Except for getting divorced, I've done them all in the last year! (Hence I have been fairly quiet around the net)

Didnt want to say anything incase it ended up like the last one, but my mum found a larger cottage (larger price aswell :sad: ) & put in an offer on the day, Aparently its been accepted & hopefully mortgage etc is all being sorted today.

I havent even seen it yet, but aparently its mucht he same as the last one :smile:

My mums boyfriend will unfortunately have to help us with the money otherwise we just couldnt afford it. Gonna be allot of money for me&my mum to pay my dad & her boyfriend back :/

Best of luck with finding the money, and best of luck with the house, Daz :smile:

Havent said anything for a while. anyway, the small cottage in heathersett is still on so far & a surveyor is coming round our house today in under an hour & I presume the survey was done some time last week on the heathersett place.

I may be gone in about 3 weeks into temp accomodation, then in that for a month until the final move. So if I dissapear in about 3 weeks you know why. I probably wont have the net for at least a few weeks after that, so probably 2 months'ish il be gone.

Go to an internet cafe and check in with us bud. :smile:
