PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING:
Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour.
Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

I'm picking a house and a location, and it just happens that the house is what the search throws up first.
There is no correct way to make a decision like this, providing that final result is acceptable.
I've got a very specific list of certain requirements and a much longer list of things that I'm totally open minded on.
I'm certainly not going to move to a house that's right in the wrong area.Happy chappy0 -
It took me 2 months of looking before I had really pinned down exactly the type of house I now want (3 bed, walking distance of the sea, garden and parking, kent coast). I've just had my final offer rejected on one I liked enough to buy that is on the market at the moment - I guess I will start again in January because there is not much more coming on right now.Downshifted
