This is a great selection actually, thank you for taking the time to share them (and your thoughts as well)!

It was fun pretending I was someone else (and I just love nosing at houses)! Maybe my next career 🤣?

Hello, I am delurking to confess that last night I also had a good look at 3 bed houses in Brighton and Hove 😂 I look every day in our area despite the fact that where we are living will most likely be our forever home. I just don’t want to miss out!! It is exciting looking for other people.

Honestly, if being a 'realtor' was a valid career choice in the UK, I'd be the first to sign up.

That is fantastic, thanks for peeking out of the shadows haha! I'm also mostly a lurker on other people's diaries Let me know if your detective work yields any shareable results

Hmmm I wonder if you have a project in you @julicorn ? You did say you were looking at some properties a little further out…. This one has been on the market for a few weeks and as the house has not been done you could put your own stamp on it. Really good size, can have your veggie patch and some chickens 😉 
definitely a wild card…

Interesting- I don't actually recall seeing this one before, but after enough time on Rightmove they all start blurring into one haha! We're going to be walking past there on Saturday and look at two other houses not a million miles away, so if those don't rule out the area, then we might book in a viewing for next week. Thank you!

@julicorn and Mr@julicorn will have their work cut out in this one. Massive house and massive garden? Felt overwhelmed looking at it, interesting indeed and different.

Our buyer is currently on holiday (it's clearly the time of the year to go away ) and the estate agent is trying to talk them into using a less crappy solicitor than the one they've currently got, so no memorandum of sale yet - BUT I just got a call from esurv, and the mortgage valuation for our flat is now booked for next Tuesday. Progress, yay! 

We're currently on the train back home from center parcs. This week absolutely flew by, house hunting probably had a role to play in that! We'll have just enough time to drop off our luggage, and then the house hunting shall commence. Today we have the blue house on spring street, the house in Hove (Rutland road), and this one that's just come up in Hanover - needs work, but we were interested nonetheless:  http://www.rightmove.co.uk/s6p/119812556

I'll report back tonight with scores and feedback x

This one has gotten me very excited. After work is done it will be a wonderful/beautiful/majestic house!

I particularly like the "secret" garden, something about really does look quite magical.

Yes I love the house big but not too big, I love the garden layout, love the character and you can add your stamp. Price is also good and I think it will appreciate easily as not too quirky.
