The first action of the day did not happen until after 10am (when we think estate agents have uploaded their first batch of new listings), when we checked Rightmove for potential plots. Having looked through all of the listings in our price range, we are now able to do a 24 hour search. Plotfinder is not quite as user friendly, but we checked that as well.
There was nothing in our range available, and as it was so early and we are so eager, our enthusiasm got the better of us and we began the search all over again for renovation projects.
Having done a couple of renovations already we feel we are in safer territory and the search is a bit easier because of that.
There were three properties that caught our attention. Two would need a top floor or side extension added, and the other was a bit of a wreck that left room for a lot of imagination!
The very fact that we searched at all for renovation projects led us to also cover bases with mortgages. We sent an email to a mortgage broker and looked at the price comparison sites for mortgage rates.
We also approached BuildStore, who really are the market leaders with self build mortgages.
I will let you know how we got on tomorrow
