We've decided it's time to look into getting a mortgage. With one child and another one in the plans for next year it seems like the right time to be doing it.
We would definitely need at least 2 bedrooms so finding a house in Exeter where we are renting at the moment is proving difficult for our budget, not to mention there's just some area you really wouldn't want to live in even if you didn't have a small family! We've decided it would be best to look for properties in Newton Abbot (a town about 20 minutes drive from Exeter) where we used to live. We can get a 2 or 3 bedroomed house most likely with a garden within our budget and both sets of our parents live there so ideal for babysitting.
We're going to view some houses tomorrow (saturday) to see what size deposit we would need and what type of time frame we would be looking at for moving into a house. Ideally I would prefer before Christmas or after January as our son's first birthday is in January and I can't really see moving in between Christmas and his birthday as a feasible option. We will just have to wait and see what goes down tomorrow! :)
