Buying a New House

So as most of you have heard, it looks as though we're finally moving to Swansea. We've been trying to sell our house in Cardiff for almost a year now, with no luck. The solution? A part-exchange on a new house (Kim's idea). It turns out that when the housing market is weak, people building houses still have to sell them before they're built, putting the buyer in a strong position.

The house is in Gowerton, north-west of Swansea, and at the perfect distance to beach/distance to work/price ratio for us. We exchange contracts in 2 weeks, if all goes well. The solicitors have been activated, wads of cash have been committed, a multitude of forms have been completed and tiling and floor coverings chosen. Fingers crossed we'll be moving before Christmas. Life will change for us, for the better.
