Donβt know β¦.
lots moving to S Wales from the South East with tons of money, so expect they will make money when they do it up
As South Easters like ones ready to move into

maybe he was worried about pronouncing the Welsh names?

@Baz posted:So they got the scruffy third one π€£π€£π€£π€£So near Aberystwythβ¦.
Aberystwyth is lovely and popular with those moving to Wales
but it does need a BIT of work
we had some stone walls like those in their bathroom...
they are soo thick and keep house cool in summer and warm in winter but as Simon says...don't try moving them ....

Yes, Ros son went to uni there I think ππI think we visited a couple of times when we first moved up here π
@Baz posted:Wow β¦much bigger budget that the last couple
yes but as we can see this house is not purely cosmetic...
I am guessing it will look good in the end...but a lot of hard graft
the 2 lads will need to work well together
@Baz posted:Yes, Ros son went to uni there I think ππI think we visited a couple of times when we first moved up here π

No, never went on the railway β¦.we were only passing through really
they knew how to build those houses 200 years ago!
MrM was shocked at how thick the wall were on our old house, aprox the same age...
the frontage is exactly the same as our old house
@Baz posted:No, never went on the railway β¦.we were only passing through really
shame you didn't manage to spend more time there.
where were you on the way to?
guessed they would need a new roof...
we did too!
my friend's son is a scaffholder...always plenty of work round here for those roofs
the roofer is called Dai...lots of Dai's here

its good to see a proper renovation at last...
and its weird for me seeing a house that looks exactly the same on the outside, as the last house we owned

true, sometimes the market does let them down
@Baz posted:Awwww they are a bit over the budget
and the weather was against them
MrM said the name means "anchor place"
@*mollie* posted:MrM said the name means "anchor place"
Oh right ππ»ππ»ππ»
South East accent by the sounds of it...
so many moved here, as they think "its cheap"...it is for them I guess
@Baz posted:English couple
it usually is, as the locals can't afford big done up houses like this
not a good profit for all that work...
enjoyed that...
thanks for the company Baz
@Baz posted:Oh well better than a loss I guess
