Huge congrats to everyone who’s completed recently—definitely feels like we’re joining the “grown-up” club now 😂 We just viewed a place this week and absolutely fell in love. It ticks all the boxes for us: decent garden, good location, and surprisingly within budget. We already messaged the owner saying we’re ready to make an offer and will be getting in touch with the estate agent first thing tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed! Since we’re first-time buyers, we’re hoping that gives us a bit of an edge. Still shopping around for the best mortgage deal—who’s everyone gone with? We’ve heard good things about Nationwide and Halifax for first-timers. Also starting to think about the practical side of moving—like sorting storage and outdoor gear. If you're near the water like we are (moving closer to Lake Travis), I found this site useful for longer-term boat slip options: url — if anyone's done something similar, would love to hear your setup! Let’s keep the house chat going—so helpful hearing other people’s experiences.
