The absolute JOY when you drive past the house you’ve had an offer accepted on and nobody’s home, so you can finally have a proper look without pretending you just happened to be driving down that road 😂🏡 Because apparently having an offer accepted means you immediately become emotionally attached to a house you don’t even own yet. Suddenly you’re checking Rightmove even though you know every photo by heart, looking for updates on Sold STC, wondering what the sellers are doing, imagining where all your furniture will go and finding completely legitimate reasons to drive past it again. 👀 If you’re currently buying a house and doing regular little “just checking it’s still there” drive-bys… you are absolutely my kind of person 😂 The waiting between offer accepted, mortgage offer, searches, enquiries, exchange of contracts and finally getting the keys can feel SO long. House buying in the UK really does turn perfectly normal people into part-time surveillance officers. 🕵️♀️🏡 #BuyingAHouse #HouseBuyingUK #FirstTimeBuyer #MovingHouse #HomeBuyer
