Congratulations. About 3 years too late, I reckon (the house in the background of my avatar, 3 bedroom detached, bought for £75,000 3 years ago).

Still, you're on the ladder now!

You will! I went through the same process earlier in the summer and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed at first. Little things annoy me, and there are always little things that aren't spot-on. But after a while, once you're in and the stresses of moving have abated, it'll feel like home and you'll be a happy man!

Best of luck with it,

Si

Nice stair conversion there, you do realise that when they come to change your electric meter you'll have to take the false wall down
The amount of times we go into properties and end up having to take kitchens and cupboards apart to get to the meters.
Really liking the fish tank in the wall tho, nice job.
