Asterix Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I know that nothing's certain until it's in black and white, but (finally ) if the buyers that we've been under offer with since October keep going the way they have recently, it looks like we'll be moving within the next 3 months. It's time for a change but will still be sad to go However, when one door closes... Am currently scouring the known website gateways plus any of the estate agents who don't get on those gateways, and am finding a few of interest (though there is a lot of overpriced s***e out there). Still, it can't hurt to ask here so, I need all the help I can in finding my dreamgirl's new dreamhouse. Constraints - Must have rural views - Must have gardens - Desirably located in the East Midlands, specifically NE & E Derbyshire or NW & W Nottinghamshire, within 25 miles of Ockbrook, Derbyshire - Enough space for a 7m campervan and Westie sized trailer to be parked (daily road access not required) - Enough off road parking/ garaging for 2 tintops, with daily road access - Either a garage for the Westfield or land that could be developed into a garage, with daily road access - House with at least 3 bedrooms or land/renovation/ change of use that could be developed into 4 bedroom house - Not on a main road - Not in a housing estate - Nowhere near Pikeys, industrial estates or proximal to major roads or railway lines - I don't mind developing on land or renovating (we can live in the camper whilst it's done) - Auction properties considered - Hate to say it, but repossessions also considered - Desirable for it to have an outhouse/ workshop as well as the garage - Most importantly. must fit SWMBO's ever-changing idea of perfection, whatever that is at the time you're reading this In short, I'm looking for price, location, space and structure in that order, everything else is up for grabs. May go higher in price, dependant on how drunk I am at the time. Any ideas gratefully received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Stanton Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Do be mindful that building a house on a slope as severe as the last two in the above link will cost a fortune in constructing extra retaining walls, waterproof tanking etc etc etc and check about your drainage connection last thing you want is an expensive pump or deep excavations to a main drains system ..........septic tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
