Well by the sounds of it, yours was a lot more stressful than your average. Hopefully our house will already be on the land register.
We've already had the survey done, and used it to knock £8k off the price.
We've already gone into full Sims™ mode, planning on how we're going to add an extension to the kitchen and knock through the two downstairs rooms to make one big one. Can't wait to buy our own bed too - after sleeping on one that is literally propped up with bricks for the past 8 years.
