House Hunting in Aberdeen!!

House hunting in Aberdeen is a difficult...no lets say nightmarish job! At least to find a suitable one for us to live in!!! Either too far, too old, too small or something else is just not right!! So I have yet to find our next home.....hope to find it soon!!! I have since figured out why we have been on the losing end of the leasing housing market, i think i jinx myself out by going to look at the houses before speaking to an agent!!!

Anyways, saw a nice one with potentially 6 bedrooms...but i dunno if that would be feasible due to budget.....huh!!I really dont know! Am getting myself way too confused!! Well, it does seem now that the house i have mentioned is not meant to be!!:(

However, i think i may have found another good house with quite a few things that are to my liking! So, will have to wait till monday to make an appointment to see the place! Fingers crossed and hoping i dont jinx myself out of the house yet again!!

House hunting is still on...have not found the right house....am getting really tired of looking for houses everyday...especially here in aberdeen....houses here are generally older and and dated....the nicer ones are usually private homes or not available for lease!

Keeping my fingers crossed that we shall find something soon!

Today i told hubbie that after the 3 days that he is away, if no houses that are suitable comes available...he is going to see the first house that i had viewed mch earlier.......so came Wednesday 11 Feb, no suitable houses.....so we made an appointment to see the house!!! and he quite liked it despite the fact that we will be losing out some of the pluses in our current place to there......so, we were going to make and offer on certain conditions......let's see if they agree!

Today we have decided to put in an offer for a house here....Finally with some hope in hand, we might just get the house.......

We heard today that the owners of the house have agreed to our conditions but are still waiting on proper black and white to come through.....

However, the irony of all this is that, on the day that i hear we have gotten a house, another house with a sort of better location comes up on the market...which is i why i say, housing in aberdeen is just something else.....of course we can still decline the other offer and go for this one, but there is no guarantee that we will get this house......so i said to hubbie, let's just stick to this house that we've gotten an answer for and not think about the other house anymore!!!!GRRR!!! Had this house appeared on the market a week earlier!!! That would have been fantastic!!!! And then i think.....how classic!!!!Anyways...enough said....shall not think of it no more!!!!

Today i got an email from our relocations agent....apparently the black and white contract has come through with some criterias......flooring wise is okay the only thing is that it may take longer which means may not be done in time for our move in...but can be done after moving in....which is no problem for me......but the other thing was that they are refusing to change the tv for us.....which is also not a problem for me.....and they are not willing to replace the curtains upstairs and in the lounge which i think also wont be a problem for me.....we'll have to see what hubbie has to say about it all.......

Yay!! Finally we have a house we are moving to.......the house that i like from the get go.....on top of that, i discovered today that our new neighbours are friends of Mik's classmate and they have a girl going to the same school....that's pretty neat! Hope they are nice people.......Now we are waiting on paperwork to come through...hopefully that would be sooner than later.......i have already set up the transfer for our internet and phone to the new place with effect from 13th Mar.....Will post some pix sometime soon!!!
