Ok update.....
Pugugly - you know far too much, the row of houses behind the house backs on to the field which backs on to Maltby pit (about 3/4 miles away) oh did I mention there is a quarry about a mile away too!
I have a viewing tomorrow at 4pm with the estate agent however they said another party was viewing at the same time. I will make sure I check all points noted here but I have also got a check list off the internet + I will try and take photos of each room and exterior so I can recall what may be required workwise after the viewing.
I know the area fairly well. Up to 5 years ago a friend whom I still see know lived with his parents across the road (they dont live there now though) and although there is a pub at the end of the road the drunks wander back into the village in opposite direction.
If this does end up being a bigger financial job I will a tough week deciding but like some of you have said 'buy before you cant' and if this doesnt come off I will just bide my time. I know I cant afford to be choosy with my budget but I dont want to end up somewhere just for the sake of it where I'm going to resent every day living there.
