Result Congratulations - good luck with the move, hope it all goes smoothly

We don't know that area very well although we did view a property near Cenarth. Newcastle Emlyn looks a lovely little town. We will all have to meet up once we have moved and settled. I'm sure our three Whippets would love meeting Daisy and co!

Sounds like a plan to me, we will be a few miles from Newcastle Emlyn if all goes well

 

[Finlib]

good news !! You will be 5.8 miles from us we are in Pembrokeshire just over the border!!
You are only 4 miles away from a really nice dog friendly pub The Nags Head at Abercych nice forest walk there too.
Hope you get in and sorted soon.

 

[Crugeran Celt]

Not that far from me either I am on the border between Swansea and Carmarthenshire.

 

[cremedemonthe]

I can see a meet up manifesting!
Thanks for the Pub recommendation!

Sorry to see you leave the area (South East!) but wishing you all the best in your new life

How are things going?

 

[cremedemonthe]

Horselib:
Had the survey done today, got a sinking feeling as surveyor said report will be ready on Monday, then asked me "how much work on the place were you thinking of having to do"?

Will wait to see what Monday brings, if too much work we might be looking around for somewhere else!
Watch this space...............

Having moved from the south ourselves I have to say that the prices are much much cheaper here than in the area of Hampshire we were in so if its not extensive it may be worth getting rough quotes .
Fingers crossed its not too bad.

 

[cremedemonthe]

Yes, that's what we noticed when down there, most things are cheaper and hopefully if not too much work involved I can do some and get quotes on the rest, keeping our fingers crossed!

It depends as well if you can live in it whilst work is done.

Thanks, we have friends with land and horses locally down there who can also supply reliable builders names and will make a note of yours too.We can stay here in Caterham until work done, no rush to get out

Well, survey has been done and just read it, makes depressing reading whole place needs rebuilding by what they are saying, asbestos throughout the property and all the drainage and sceptic tanks need sorting out too, there's rising and penetrating damp, poor wiring, faulty plumbing, needs a new roof too, there's more wrong with it than right!
Needless to say, we probably won't be moving to that one. Back to the drawing board for us then.
Never mind, onwards and upwards, there's one out there with our name on it, I'm sure of that!

Shame, it's depressing but that's what the survey is for. I'm a big believer in the right one being there at the right time, it's happened twice to me so that clearly wasn't the right one for you.

HowI disappointing let's hope you find something soon house hunting in winter is no fun fingers crossed

 

[ChwaraeTeg]

ditto all .... I have just been looking at this site ... and saw a possibility ? www.guythomas.com

 

[Finlib]

How is the search going Any joy on li!kely properties

 

[cremedemonthe]

Seen some but need to short list and organise another visit to Wales, it's usually 600 miles with getting there, driving round and back again, so needs careful planning.
It seems to be the same old ones that have been on the market for a while though at the moment, makes you wonder why they haven't been bought, especially after the last one which on the surface looked ideal but was a demolition job.
I'm waiting to see if any new ones crop up in the next week or two before I make any serious plans.
