2009-02-01GMT09:12:06Yesterday's house huntingBack to square one then really. Had a house cancelled on us, then saw one in Wincheap that was a dump, had been divided up oddly for renting, needed too much putting back together and probably wouldn't have been worth it even had we done that. Then t... 2009-01-17GMT06:18:34Good day's house huntingSaw the one I mentioned the other day, and it was not what I expected. The pictures don't do it justice, or I was a bit pessimistic when I was looking at the details, it's huge! And it has a ridiculous amount of character, it's all beams and half sta... 2009-01-14GMT02:05:21Ooh dicky tum todayThere I was earlier this week bragging about how I never ever get ill, and I am possibly super human and almost certainly immortal, and here I am today suffering with a bit of a stomach bug :-( Clare had it earlier this week, and now she's passed it ... 2009-01-11GMT01:22:58Back on the house trainAs just mentioned, we've kickstarted our house hunt again, starting with three viewings yesterday. We've reduced our budget which I think is reasonable, basically knocking 20% off the top price of places we're looking at, because of house the market ... 2008-04-20BST09:21:00RE: Yesterday's house huntHey, difficult thing isn't it? Do you wait for "the crash that might never happen" or just get on and buy a house. I think the whole market is getting a bit nervy, even houses in Fareham are selling slowly. Interesting to see what's going to happe... 2008-04-20BST06:24:30Yesterday's house huntA trip to Canterbury yesterday, an early start, four houses to see. First one was a bit further out than we first thought, up Whitstable Road, though not an insurmountable distance to Canterbury West. The house is at the end of a cul-de-sac, so you h... 2008-04-14BST02:37:16RE: House huntI like the "not slanderous at all" $10 note comment. That coupled with a picture of the premises in question would never get you into trouble ;) Lovely looking building though - much nicer from the outside than the second one.You like that there Waga... 2008-04-13BST12:32:49House huntTwo houses today in Canterbury, different parts of town, but with things in common. For starters, both too expensive really at 250k each. If the market really is tumbling we might be able to make a cheeky offer on just about anything we see now thoug... 2008-03-03GMT08:56:29Canterbury, but not house huntingNot a bad weekend. Started on a bum note, with a death, my sister's ma-in-law passed away unexpectedly on Friday, so thoughts with all the families involved obviously. Saturday we stayed local, didn't go to Canterbury as Clare was having lunch with h... 2008-02-16GMT05:49:18Another house hunting trip to CanterburySaw three places today, first one before lunch was at Forty Acres Road, Canterbury and was a three bedroom (just about) but with plenty of room downstairs. Good sized lounge, downstairs bathroom, and a nice kitchen that was open to a big conservatory... 2008-01-25GMT07:36:35House-hunting trip to Canterbury #3Just setting up a space for the map here, preloaded it with some images of one place we're going to see: Map loading here, where I went with my GPS on 26/01/2008, the last 1000 locations anyway... var map; $( function () { if ( GBrowserIsCompatibl... 2008-01-23GMT08:50:08RE: Second house-hunting trip around CanterburyThe secret room most likely doesn't comply with building regulations, so cannot be advertised as a proper room.<br />Pops2008-01-20GMT09:37:55RE: Second house-hunting trip around Canterburywhich train station would you need to get into london - east or west? how big a house do you want?2008-01-19GMT08:14:53Second house-hunting trip around CanterburySaw five houses today in Canterbury, have a map with details of the things we saw.
