It took a while, with this incompetent UK system of buying / selling houses, but I finally completed on my place. It is a 2 bedroom, through living / dining room (i.e wall between them knocked out), kitchen, bathroom - mid-terrace in London. Happily located in Zone 3 - about 6 minutes walk to the Underground, which makes it perfect for going out and for commuting to work. It has a small courtyard behind the house with room enough for a dozen people to sit, drink and munch on sausages in summertime when the BBQ is fired up!
Overall I am happy with it, but it needs a little love and attention, and I plan on pretty much redoing every surface, walls, floors, ceilings etc, needs a couple of new double glazed windows, new front door but that is all pretty easy stuff. Just time and effort.
Got the important things already, new microwave, big king bed, and of course, the full high definition 42 inch big screen tv to play the Wii on. It is a great feeling to be walking in the front door of your own home :)
