Garett and I have officially decided to stay in London and we are beginning our property search in a frenzied market...
Actually this article is misleading - house prices are up 18% over last year. Anyway, we've started looking at properties. Originally Garett's bottom line was 1200 square feet. But this number has been shrinking...and shrinking...and shrinking.
Presenting...the 905 square foot house "in need of modernisation". Ideally located near the Hampstead Heath and optimal for long walks in the woods with a non-existent dog named Roger.
But don't worry. It's not so bad. It only needs a new roof, walls, windows, plumbing, heating, electrical, kitchen and bath. Not sure why the estate agent is locking things up.
Original floors from the 1880's.
The kitchen.
The master bedroom.
The neighbors.
Because this is London and because the market is so crazy, there are already multiple offers above asking price on this property. So what will we do? Make an offer, of course. But it is unlikely we will get this house. There will likely be more than one round of sealed bids and there is always the possibility of getting "gazumped" by a better offer.
Stay tuned...
Shelly
