Well, pretty much all of you know my predicament/situation, and that my house is now sold.

As sad as it is, life needs to go on regardless.

Just got a phone call that one of the oldest cottages in Stratton has come on the market today, has just been professionally renovated to a very high spec.

Added plus, is that it is directly opposite Jennas best friend, so they can go to school and chill after school together.

It suits mine and Jenna's needs more than completely and is an absoloute steal price wise.

I have an appointment to look at it tomorrow so fingers crossed.

How much is it on the market for if you don't mind me asking?

Would be good to compare to prices round here.

Good luck mate.

if they ask for 18million dont do it!!!!!

Good luck buddy, did you get the info ok ?

Fucking quality mate

thank you so much

No probs

Good news Fred, hope it all works out ok. Does this mean we'll no longer be neighbours?

145K mate

2 bed, massive rooms, beams down stairs, new kitchen and bathroom, and huge garden (overgrown and still to be done)

Hope it all works out fella. Struggle to get a decent one bed flat down here for that!

Good luck Fred, don't use the same solicitors as Sippo tho  :wink:

nope mate, just round the corner on Ermin St, junction with Shenton.

Virtually opposite the Wheaty

Fucking hell mate, I can't get rid of ya!  :wink:

Fuck thats cheap.

I've just been browsing local 2 bedrooms houses around here. Nothing under £180k.

Years ago when I moved back to Swindon, I used to rent a place down there...its quite an interesting corner.....used to be a little bakery, along Ermine Street, which was  8) and the Wheatsheaf was a good basic local boozer....I had some good times down there, but needed to move to Old Town, when having a local difficulty with the law.

Ahhh


now you are talking to a 4th generation Strattonian

The bakery would have been Ross's  you would have had to go passed the Jacobs Ladder (no closed and turned to flats) to get there.

Anyway, the daughter of Mr Ross, used to be in my tutor group, and all I am going to say is that I got my cream splits on the way home from school for free

 :wink:

how many times have I told you to move back to your spiritual home

 
:P
   

  The Jacob's Ladder was a bit of a bikers pub from memory....

Work, family and friends are here though Mr Tuck.

I gave the solicitor 5k today, exchanging tmrw with a completion date of the 26th Oct.

If this falls apart I will hang myself.

PS. Good luck AT.

If you need a good solicitor shout Andy.

Hopefully all be sorted tomorrow then. Fingers crossed, as it's about time!

Well I exchanged last time but it never got to completion.

It has been 9 months!!  :shock:

Good luck Sippo

Have you bought my old house Fred?

 :?

Bit like your current neighbours garden then Fred?  :mrgreen:

 :mrgreen:

Got a very special going away present for him

 :wink:

Do tell............... :D

Clematis?  Those things don't stop growing!

Worse

does it involve poo . I like doing poo tricks to people i dont like

Come on I want to know!

All will be revealed in time but its a belter !

I've always had difficulty in finding the clematis...

Thats because it's outside not inside Nev

The folks have the first people round to view our place today, I won't have anywhere to live when I get back from France next year, which is a little worrying...

good luck Fred. I'm looking to move out of my two-bed maisonette and into a house. Seen a few houses I lilke, two I would live in - just can't shift mine, market seems slow at the mo.

Now you tell me !

You getting that weed that grows like shit and needs to be fully dug out, not just treated.  Effectively kills a garden.

I have 3 palm trees in my garden 8)

worse

COME ONNNNNNNNNN!

Ill tell you when I see you

I keep looking at this thread in excitement that Fred’s been horse hunting in the backyard of France.

Images of Black Beauty (with theme tune)  taking one to the forehead have been drifting through my mind all day.  

Oh and best of luck Fred with the house move.

cooch grass, its a bastard.

Got to be some japanese knotweed your planning on planting Fred :wink:

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Now THAT would be funny

those houses on ermin street are very close to the road.would they shake a bit or suffer from traffic noise?

my reason for asking is because my old house was a good 30 feet from the road, but we still suffered from the effects of buses passing by

Bus went past when I was viewing it this morning and not a murmour.

The walls are about 3ft thick

 :mrgreen:

My aunty used to live in the second house from the end, literally 2 foot from the road and only 10 foot from the roundabout. Not a fucking peep. Those houses were built to last, nothing like the wooden modern shit they build these days.

glad to hear it.hope its a good un then

WOOT FUCKING WOOT

Just had my 2nd offer accepted on the cottage, its vacant posession so things should start moving quickly

IM FUCKING WELL MADE UP !!!
