Default Offer accepted on House- GET IN!!!

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....

Ciao

I dont imagine being in till End of August by the time I have done all the work I need- thats if I do it, I might sell it on or rent it out- depends what the work situation is at the time.

Its with the natwest and the early repayment charges are 5% 4% and so on over the 5 years.

I think that was North Solihull Jake was refering to, although North Solihull now may fail to exist now he is moving to real Solihull,

Hahahaha... smart arse's...

THanks tho.

I'll pop some pics up saturday as I am going to measure the kitchen up.

As for where abouts- just off the cross roads with Seven Stars Road and Load Lane, about 500m from the Hospital, can't really get much more 'Solihull' than that.
