Hey everyone
My fiance and I had our offer accepted on a house in Feb and it was accepted yay
We finally got the keys on the 9th April
We are in the house and settled (well if you ignore the spare room thats full of boxes lol) and its already feeling like home
The house was up for £139k in Sept 07, then it was reduced to £125k and we offered £115k and it was accepted, then we had the survey report and we reduced our offer to £112,500k and thats what we got it for its a 3 bedroom Semi house
I am so happy
