Have I just entered the Twilight Zone?

Have a look through my build thread ( link below). I fitted one a few weeks back

Nice TV, but if that's 75 inches, that foot in the picture must be 24"

Well I hope that's a joke lol í ½í¸ Sorry. Seemed funny at the time. It sounds fine mate

That's normal for a diesel

Thanks for the above We'll make sure people see what we have first.

Used these guys to get from surrey to cornwall http://www.trekremovals.com/ and they did a great job at a great price. £1680 for a two day move of 225 miles Their website seems to be down, or they're no longer trading

I was sort of guessing around £1000- £1200 so not a million miles off then. Got Pickfords coming to quote next week. Just looked at a couple of online quotes with local companies too. £500- £600. Now, I know you get what you pay for, but how different could they be to the big boys? They are fully insured etc etc.

Revised offer accepted today, so I guess we have officially sold within 4 days Any of you guys know a rough estimate on removal company costs? Contents of a 3 bed house, 40 min drive to new house.

How do you remove fat from a zed?

Just passed through Huntingdon too.

Cheers Marty

Cheers Steve We'll be half an hour closer to Wales too, which isn't a bad thing. Btw we're planning on a return visit to Brechfa later this year Let me know when you're over this way and we'll meet in the Forest Arms for a pint .....with the twins parked outside!! Will definitely meet you for a pint mate. Unfortunately the twins won't get to meet each other, as I'll be in the family car.

i totally see the benefits of a new build but I'd love to have something that ticks all the boxes. It's a pipe dream and I'd be over the moon regardless if it ticked most like yours seems to have Apart from the garage and being in a nicer area, we have taken advantage of the developers assisted move scheme. Basically they get our house valued, and then they market it for us, covering all the costs. It helps because the whole process is then under one roof, so each department should always know at what stage another department are at. I was a bit dubious at first, as I thought they might under value our house, for a quick sale, so we could get into their house in less time. I have found them to be totally transparent, and they have actually marketed our house for more than we were expecting.

Not me. I have tomorrow off, but I'll be using the backup should it snow.

Thanks. I wasn't 100% for a new build to start with, but the layout is good and the room sizes will help with 3 growing kids. I think there will be 1 more move in the future though, which will hopefully tick all the boxes. The downside to new builds is the postage stamp sized garden, but hey ho, can't win 'em all. I've got a garage Well if everything goes through, I have.

Cheers Dan. Good luck with your move too. I'm not looking forward to all the packing/ unpacking either. Need to organise a skip soon, and have a good clear out.

It's been unofficially made to us from the 3rd party estate agent company that our new home developers are using. It will be for us to accept or decline once the buyers financial situation has been approved good to go.

Thanks mate. That's exactly what's happening at the moment. The buyers financial status is being checked and we still have viewings taking place throughout the weekend.

Thanks mate. Yes, when the estate agent came to value the house, he was extremely keen to take it on. Basically, this is our first house purchase, so therefore it's still classed as the first rung of the ladder type house. It has plenty of schools within walking distance, a shop 300yds down the road, and town is 20 minutes walk away, so ideal for first time buyers or investment, as they rent out successfully around here.

Hi guys, Just wanted to express my excitement. We put our house on the market last Saturday, and today we've had it confirmed that an offer was made yesterday We still have 4 more viewings booked in for this coming weekend, so it will be good to see if anybody betters the offer. But, at least it means our plans to purchase a new build can still go ahead. We have reserved one c/w garage, which im over the moon about, and they have given us 4 weeks to sell ours. If we don't sell within 4 weeks, then we lose our reservation. Looking like a mid March move date, but really looking forward to it

Personally I would be more worried at that price, if they're doing everything properly. I mean, a cheap mot is around £30, and haven't seen new tyres for under £100 each.

If you're just looking at going out for a ride in one to see how you feel about them, then why not post up whereabouts you are, and see if any members can help out. No point forking out money to hire one, if there's anywhere that do that.

Nice photos and loving the colour too
