It was this time last year that I made by biggest purchase in this life so far. My Volksy Golf has been a joy ever since, so I decided to celebrate the first anniversary by buying a house....

Hmmm, actually, other than timing, it's got nothing to do with the car, but yes, I signed a contract for a house & if everything goes to plan (fingers crossed), I'll be stuffing it with furniture in exactly a month.

I've been looking for a while, going to the odd inspection & I've spotted a few hopefuls which haven't lived up to the spectacular photographic work used to sell the properties. This particular house came online last Tuesday, I had a look on Saturday, went back Sunday & placed an offer & secured the property by midday Monday.

I signed the contract for the property & arranged insurance today. Thursday's set for a building inspection & to sort out finance, so it's all happening rather quickly.

Stay tuned & once I've got access, expect quite a few photos!
