I have been desperate to get out of the rental place we are in, it's a piece of crap and is falling apart round our ears, but the land lord ignores every request to fix it. I'm sure that's illegal but I can't be bothered to fight them for the repairs.
Of course in typical Smout fashion we decide to get started on all this the week before we head over seas. I was too excited to wait till we got back from holiday so yesterday, with a spring in our step, we headed over to Homeworld to check out the show homes on display. We would really like a new build so why not tease ourselves with things we can't afford? That's what buying a house is all about. Building yourself up, decorating something in your mind then settling on something totally different!
A quick phone call this morning and we have an appointment with the mortgage broker set up for tomorrow night, next step will be to actually start to look at homes and put in offers. I can't wait!
