I don't have to log in either. I love Rightmove and can never resist having a nosey what local houses are going for.

I am just using this thread to say Ciao/Bye to everyone. I rejoined this forum last September mainly in order to endorse Maryjane's book. I wish i'd had information about a vulnerable vagina in menopause years ago.

It's best i'm not distracted now by this forum and try to keep up with posts as i need to put what energy i can muster  ;D  back elsewhere. We are about to put our place back on the market after getting some planning permission last week for an improvement which might attract a better buyer. We tried to sell for a year up until June last year and two offers came to nothing. Took it off the market after the year as apparently you go stale on Rightmove after too long.
Not the best climate with Brexit coming up but a friend of my daughters has a place for sale that is smaller and would suit us. Can't pin your hopes on one place though. For both our healths sake we need to get a smaller garden now.
Wishing all you lovely ladies well and thank you for answers to my questions during the last few months. Off to clean the bathroom  ;D  and start facing the estate agents aggressive marketing again in the week. Take Care.

Hi Gangan.
Good luck with the plans to move.
I've brought and lived in x2 houses in the last four years, renovated this one totally and up for sale after 5 days it sold.
I move Monday week to a detached converted Chapel..... Its a dream home so never lose sight of your dreams and goals.... I lost my eldest son to suicide just four years ago so I hope he's my live in spirit too.
Hugs

If one reads Gangan's reply  ::)

So far in nearly 12 months there's been no aggressive marketing from the Agents we have instructed  >:(

Bye bye Gangan - thanks for letting us know you've gone and why - otherwise we might worry about names in black - although you could just have gone quiet - but then you might end up getting pm's which you might not want! Good luck with your house sale anyway.

All the best with your move too Woodlands - hope you find some peace.

We've had a discussion  ;D

Whilst we have everything we require: good dentist practice, helpful GP, access to things we like: I crave a view.  DH won't: apparently : move any further North than York so that's Northumberland out.  Move across the mid-Wales but NHS services aren't as good these days. 

Derbyshire is as far from the sea as we are already and as we age we won't be walking up Mam Tor every day! 

So looking at Barnstable area this afternoon  ;D.  Shropshire is good too .........

DH won’t move north of here, as it’s colder and wetter. Pretty wet here too! We’re looking locally, as there are one or two potential future issues, but as the location is lovely......difficult to better. So many places to walk here which has been such a blessing this last year. Still it’s fun looking.

I love looking but do try to keep within our potential budget  ;D ........ it's more rooms I want to display our items and paintings.  Apart from our bathroom which is calm, the rest of the place is cluttered.  We love what we have but the room shapes are awkward ........ I would like it all in 3 rooms to enjoy  ::) : plus the swimming pool off our bedroom and a view  :whist: - from the swimming pool off our bedroom.

Been looking again today, I don't think my bungalow exists. If I like the house I don't like the garden and vice versa. I'd
love to build my own, best buy a lottery ticket this week .😂😂

Post by: CLKD on February 03, 2021, 09:45:09 AM
Yep.  I've been looking on rightMove again.  Torquay area.  2 bedrooms with garden we can afford but they are too small.  Even the dooer-uppers are over £250.00  :o and we don't want a project.  The current house could be a project if we allowed it to be  ;D

Torbay is expensive. It depends on why you want to move? If you want space around you and a view then you'd need a fair bit more than £250k in that area. Are you in a cheaper area now? It's fun to explore different areas though.

We live in an expensive area. Years ago, when we moved here in 1986, we had a plan to upgrade to a bigger, better home, but the very high mortgage interest rates of the 90s, failure of endowment policies to produce the original projected funds , put an end to that plan. Now we have been told bungalows are being sold for stupid money around here according to an estate agent/friend, who queried why on earth we would want to move. We stay in the area because of family and friends. But looking at what we could buy elsewhere is fun. Almost makes up for the struggles in paying the mortgage years back.

Area here not cheap.  We moved in the early 1980s as a stop gap then rates went up.  So we stayed. It took me 11 years to feel settled and we've done plenty to the house since we paid off the mortgage.   I crave a view.  Our 1st flat was opposite the beach and backed onto moorland towards mountains.  The night we moved out, the sea came into the flat - 3 floors up  :o

Also, the noise: constant building of new estates with houses 1 couldn't swing a cat round in, almost double the price that ours is valued at  >:(.  With no garden  :o.  We have a cabin, a shed, a large pond system, patio and veg plot ......... without the view.

We don’t have much of a view, other than the one we created of garden, animal and bird life. We had had to put up a fence for privacy, which spoils the view, but we were on view from the public pathway! The fence went up when people started waving when I was slobbing on the settee watching TV in my PJs! Went and and looked (dressed!) Yep! Very good view! My SIL put a lovely fence up and we got a beech hedge up. When we came here, I found peace. The bungalow isn’t beautiful, but welcomed us. I’d be fine if we didn’t move. It’s DH who wants to move, but I have final say! It would have to be special to convince me.

We don't have time in our week to buy a small flat overlooking the sea/view .......... in normal times we are out and about so much.
