A practical guide to home buying
Home buying is never easy. The wave of requirements sweeps over you as you take your first tentative steps and begin your search for the ideal home. It’s got to be a certain size, with decently proportioned bedrooms, not next to each other, and an open-plan kitchen, or a separate one. It must have a garden or a roof terrace, be modern or period, with two bathrooms, maybe. Location, location, location! That’s what they keep saying. And it’s true. So it’s got to be near the shops and the station and where you work. Add to that, the lighting. The lighting’s got to be good or you’ll need to get it done, but it’s so much easier if it’s already done for you.
Well, it’s difficult for anyone (you’ve heard the stories), but our requirements are so much more stringent. We can’t drive. So when I found the perfect place it was too far from the station and from my work. No, Mr Agent, you really can’t convince me on that point, I can’t cycle either. So, like everyone, we compromise and get somewhere much closer to the station which costs a little more. And in doing so we make life easy for ourselves, just like everyone else. We negate the need to rely on the bus (realising that it really isn’t a perfect substitute for a car) and thereby free ourselves to fully take advantage of the opportunities we have.
So kiss goodbye to that idyllic home in the country and just get what works!
