Have finally sold my other house we was expecting them to demand a reduction in the sale price due to the fact that the person buying it from us put in a offer five thousand over the asking price,why I'm not sure it was not worth more than the asking price and if the truth is known we was happy to reduce it even further to sell a vacant property which we was paying the mortgage on.

Even after the survey which must have found the electric wiring was not up to scratch and the damp coming in through the attic roof the original price held so we are more than happy to have this of our hands.

We now have a desirable amount of cash in our bank account more than we could have hoped for when eight years ago when we moved out of the house and took on another mortgage for the house we are in now, we would have had to have sold it for six thousand pounds less than we bought it for so much for investing inproperty and negative equity but saying that, even if we had broke even we would have been more than happy at the time to have had a buyer and sell it just to get it out of our hair.

Anyway we can now get on with the our plans for the extension to our house which is to include a porch to the front of the house and extension /conservatory to the rear of the property in all for the building work for both projects will come in at 20k the conservatory is going to have solid walls on each end with small open sash windows to the top of the walls.
the roof to be traditional double hipped roof with a box guttering to the rear.

The front to have traditional French patio doors to the outside and the interior doors hopefully it will be a big improvement all round will have to sort the Ariel out for sky and might have to tweak the wireless set up out again but can live with that hassle .

The interior brickwork is being left exposed without any plaster just pointing off the existing house wall will be plastered .

At least it all wont commence before Christmas and will start mid January 2007 good time to furnish it with all the New Year sales on
