    Surprised nobody's mentioned the dog/bag for life thread yet lol.
    Why? I'm asking a serious question! We are a family of 4 living in a motor Home in the winter. It's not ideal.
    No offence, its just the whole thread was about people camped out on a driveway in a motorhome 🙈

    Sorry for your predicament x
    Ohhh! 😂 I'll have a read. Maybe pick up some tips!

    It's very hard at the moment. ☹ let's hope there's some light at the end of the tunnel.

    You're think of a different entertaining thread, Jo, Buyers are camped in our garden over Christmas: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2943078/buyers-are-camped-in-our-garden-over-christmas/p1

    The dog/bag for life thread was a different one, but possibly by the same author ;)



    Ah, thanks, I thought it was part of the same one 🙈

  • I think the intention of the guidelines is that you can make appointments to view properties and of course carry on if mid purchase. I'm not so sure how it would be taken if you were stopped by the Police camping out in some layby in Wales.......
    I think you just need to sit tight for the moment, keep looking on the internet and if 'the right' sort of place crops us you could drive to Wales and back in a day (yes a long day but leave the kids with MIL and take the car).
    Good luck with it all.

    Any specific reason for Wales? Middle Devon is still relatively cheap away from the major road arteries, there's no language issue and the bloody tourists don't seem to know it exists. That's 3 positives. :)

    I'm also sorry for your predicament but don't forget that at the moment nobody should be travelling anywhere if it's not essential. So it's probably best not to go property hunting, in any kind of vehicle, right now.

    We did do it in a day once, back in September... It was hard going!

    We just love the ceredigion area. But, we are not absolutely tied to that decision. The original plan was to literally travel round the country and look.

    We've decided to just sit tight after listening to Chris whitty.
