Just off the phone to the solicitor, won the bidding totally chuffed! The bird is extatic, i'm just happy i've got a garage!

 

how much was it mate

well done - i hope to be in a similar position in a years time

 

congrats! and good work on the garage front

 

Good on you m8 Its a good feeling knowing that its yours to do with what you want

 

thats got a garage and a drive mate, all ya need now is a cossie to keep braking down to get full use of it

 

its in scotland, recon the soliciters fees where more than the sale price

why do we have to oay sooo much fooking more for much smaller houses

ill move to scotland where they soert out the weather problems

 

Well Done mate, congrats, looks nice and spacious!! Cant wait for me own house/garage - Es Cos comes first though!!

 

Well done fella

 

Cheers for all the comments guys, it was just a tad under £95k which is a lot, but when i see the prices of houses down your way guys i totally can't believe it, it's almost impossible for people to get on the property ladder. B19 BAL, i have a lock up that my car has been it since August last year, i'm used to it braking all the time, probably could have bought a house years ago if it wasn't for the cossie, but she is getting taken to her new home and put in the garage as i couldn't bare to part with her.

 

Congratulations Pal, exciting times ahead for you both

 

congratulatios! we going out the morns nite to celibrate? you stil got my hoses and intercooler! need to stick car back to standard!

 

That's a bargain...well done!! My first place was 108k....a 2bed flat now worth £165k !!!

 

Congrats!! - Great house and it's a great achievement...!

Well done!

 

Nice one mate Just ignore the southern sissys

Scotland is a better place to Live IMO, having lived and visited familly in England many times its a much more relaxed place plus houses are cheap so we can buy good cars

 

Cheers Stu! Just have to find out a way to afford furniture now!

Yeah bob the intercooler is still on the car, i can take it off for you, or i have the 4x4 one as i still haven't got around to fitting the pro alloy one, what's happening are you selling it?????

 

ahhh well done enjoy it which i'm sure you will do.

cant wait to get my place sorted soon

 

don't know yet but i'll put it back to standard just now! going to look at the flint grey saph on friday! 3dr was sold! was on the jt28 web site couple of nice saph on there!

 

95k for a house

You cant even buy a shoebox down here for that

With regards to furniture, I have a mate who has a furniture company - let me know what you're after and I'll see what i can do

 

Ran, I might need to speak to your mate soon as well

 

all of a sudden ran's pm box becomes full

 

Wish the houses down here were that price, iam sure if that house was down this way it would be 130-150k

 

Nice one! Garage and a decent long driveway too.

Wish I had a bloody garage.

steve

 

Nath - let me know what you're after and I can sort something out

 

Well done mate!! I did the same thing yesterday, quite scary, but exciting!!!

Cant afford a place with a garage tho!!

 

Well done mate, just make sure your solicitor is on the ball and you'll be fine

 

more like 250k near me!

 

try where i live then , 250k for a flat

ill never get a morgage as my rent is soooo much cheeper i will never gain anything by getting a morgage but a pain in the arse and stress worriy about losing ,e job ect and having no home, also cant afford anything decent so ill stay in the ghetto

 

too true

 

£95k for that is WELL cheap mate, didn't realise there was that much difference between the North West of England & Scotland, even in my town that would go for £140k!

Well done mate

 

well done,, will be happening too me this year aswell

 

Nice one mate!

I just bought a house a couple of months ago,its great!
One word of advice.Check everything works properly!!We didnt move in for a couple of weeks after getting keys and the Boiler needed replaced a radiator burst and the oven and hobb were fooked! We couldnt claim anything back either because it was past the time!

Anyway,enjoy

 

well done Rog

where's that then?

chop

 

tis the best thing you can ever spend ya money on !!

enjoy it m8 !!

 

THE first thing on my list was must have drive and garage.
Bought my 3 bed semi just under 4 yrs now for a littele 85k now going for 190k
cossie is in garge with baby monitor,heating,and cctv
good luck mate
enjoy
p.s. if you have double glazing make sure you change the front and back door locks matey and get extra lock on garage,a close friend bought a property only to wake one morning and find his car had gone,someone had got in with a old key to the door

Rog,
Same here, my m8 has a place out in Insch, imports from Indonesia by the container load

 

nice one! we brought our first house for 96k and it was a right mess. that house looks fab!

 

Well done mate , 95k is a lot of money but sadly not nearly enough in some areas. Garage and driveway space, yey

 

Thanks for all the top comments!
Cossie is going in the garage and becoming a sunday afternoon project i think, but i'll probably get around to that in 2008 with all the decorating I'll have to do!
Locks are getting changed and new windows put in as soon as i move in, and I've already been told by the bird that tree has to go!
Chop, it's In turnberry crescent, in bridge of don.

 

Bridge of Don? My brother is looking for a house there

Nice area
