Finally...

After 18mths of searching and dealing with muppet estate agents and viewing over priced tat I found a house priced sensibly with an estate agent who didn't speak too much bollocks.

Had the offer accepted, deal agreed and underwritten by mortgage company, solicitor instructed- am just waiting for valuation (which I already have from a buyer that feel through so know is ok) and all the searchs and job done.

I got a great mortgage deal. 5.99% over 35 years with 10% deposit and no fee's.

House is a 2 bed semi, needs a bit of work internally- Central Heating, Bathroom, Kitchen, redecoration and maybe some wiring which is all easy enough.

Ideally wants a Dropped curb and a driveway if funds allow.

Structurally seems sound which is good.

Location is awesome (proper solihull, near the centre) and the best bit is it has a double garage in the back garden.

Not bad for a first time buyer eh?

Now- to call in all the favours... ha ha....
