Our mortgage valuation just came back significantly less than we were expecting, and phenomenally less than the other valuation that was done. ( which we thought was ott) we feel its worth o. The open market not more than what we paid ATM, because though we have spent a lot o. It we have also de valued it in other ways for longer term benefit ( cutting down leylandi with the short term privacy impact for example) the bed to bath is also of course a huge factor, but we've decided to rip our bathroom out and probable put a temp guest room in there for the medium term, so technically same number of bedrooms.

Any structural improvement etc is offset by aesthetic detail lack of finish ATM, so we'd need a few months and some money to put floors down etc to see a 'sale vale' IMO. But a drive by cannot see that.

I think all that fluff is for us and not for property increase in value so don't expect it to make us a profit . Especially not how we are doing it, lol.

Still, bit concerned at the huge discrepancy. It's a six figure discrepancy but I think we stil have required equity for the mortgage we want.

Clearly you forgot to put the twigs in thin vase somewhere visible.

Anyway, any property is worth what someone is prepared to pay.

Exactly.

Tbh, apart from getting the mortgage we want we don't care.

Anyway, just checked with DH, we came in short. :eek: he has been drip feeding information through the day to soften the blow .

The bank have said to challenge it because the pp and land etc were probably not taken into account and its not a huge amount short.

It's one of the 'bonuses' of renting rather than owning, that you are renting a while service.

Renters are only tolerated while they pay .... and any issue/problem/expense that the LL might have to fork out for is seen as a real irritant..... they want the money, not the responsibility.

I really hope your wife has more to look forward to than that.

Bit scared, it's running rather than dripping.... and it sounds louder than what's coming out .... so I'm thinking "what if there IS more ... where's it going? Is it seeping into the electrics..." Scared I might be electrocuted. Electric showers scare me shytless even when they're working properly.

To be quite honest Pastures, I'd be a bit more worried about the bloke behind you

My lips are sealed. For once. Which is what michaels seems to prefer in women

"puppies" is an entirely different part of the anatomy altogether (and only on ladies ), so I'm quite pleased to read that your visitors have left before you soak your "puppies" in the bowl.

I presume it's the washing-up bowl as that's where I soak my 'barking dogs'. :rotfl:

:oIt was definitely my feet.

No washing up bowl here but a small square was bowl bought for laundry soaking, bathing bunny rabbits (I really mean bunny rabbits - little pets, hoppy things with big ears) and soaking small tootsies. They are size 37.

That's very unusual ... so am I. I was a 4½ but then it went all Euro on me and things haven't been so easy to find since.

Huh?

My mother and sister are the small sizes and I am eternally jealous as they are the ones always left on the sale rails.....easier to find and at a discount. I think a 37 is also sample size for lots of shoes. Lucky women.

My mother, one sister and I are all 6 - 6 1/2, depending on shape and make, and my other sister is 5.

Is there not a sister missing?
