Thanks guys.. it's an absolute mish mash of emotions from outright fear through to a full on adrenaline rush - neither me nor my girlfriend could sleep last night.
Now we're looking at which solicitor to choose - any advice is welcome when it comes to what we should keep in mind !!
Aha, the bike is staying!! By that I mean it won't be getting used for 10 years
The house needs no decorating, it's recently done throughout with all new kitchen and bathroom with tiled flooring and hardwood flooring everywhere else. The garden needs a bit of work - it's currently just concrete and gravel.
I'll be blocking up the back gate and building a workshop at the back then putting a gate into the side of the garden. The concrete and gravel will get ripped up at some point and it'll be paved with some artificial grass. The front garden is lawn which will get block paved and turned into a 3 car driveway
