House buying makes you irrational..!

Four days after we bought our house, there were 3 small removals vans parked on the drive of a house 4 doors down (one we nearly bought ourselves). They were there overnight and we were wondering if somebody who ran a removals business operating from home had bought it. Turned out they'd just been cheeky and parked the vans there overnight before completion the following day. The lady who bought the house was moving from 75 yards away in the next street.

At least the locals like the area, good sign 😂

They certainly do. The people who bought the house next door but one to us moved from a rental 4 doors along from them, with the aid of a removals company who had to move their vans about 45 yards with the contents

Same as us. But our movers carried it all over. We could never have done it.

Last time I checked (sunday), our home was still showing on rightmove as SSTC. Today is our 5th month since we moved in.

The house 2 up from us that sold is no longer listed on rightmove by same agency.

Haha omg, you sound like me 😂 we had our survey report back and I was so excited to see a wrapped up mattress in a picture of the garage! 🤪

That's where they've stashed the body.
