House Hunting

I have recently moved back to UK. I thought I would never be back, I sold up many years ago and said goodbye to my friends, moving to the sunshine. Well, life always has a way of pulling you back.

So, after finding somewhere to rent for a few months, my fiancee and I have been looking for somewhere to call home and maybe to begin a family. I have lived in many areas in the south of England before, but my lady is a south coast girl, so finding somewhere where she feels happy was the aim. We both have busy lives and our work keeps us both very active, but we both have the privlidge to be able to work from home.....so we needed an office atleast!!

The following blog is our story of finding our house to be.....

Requirements;

• Detached with 4 Bedrooms
• Garden to rear, large enough for a conservatory.
• Garage and parking off road for at least two cars.

We have been all over Wiltshire and Hampshire looking for a house. We have looked at so many houses but have now settled on Andover for our location. There is a new development called Augusta Park, where there are 3 main property developers present. We visited all three and settled on trying to finalise a deal with Taylor Wimpey and a new 4 bedroomed house.

The house that we selected is called the Sturton, we have checked out the "demo home" many times, with many pictures taken and compared with houses. We feel that the deal that we have struck with the developers suits us perfectly and the plot enables some great potential for expansion and meets our requirements perfectly. The story, hopefully is a record of the build and the progress and issues that we may experience through the process of our new build house.

This is what the house should look like when its finished.....

This is what it looks like now, yep, its just a sand pit. Something that I should be familiar with;

So our plan is to update this blog as a record of our progression.......watch this space.
