I have finally managed to get two house viewings lined up! The first one looks to have a good size garden (though estate agents are very good at taking misleading photos!) that should be long enough to make up for it being NW facing. However, I get bad vibes about the estate agent and possibly the vendor as well (I've contacted them four times before I've managed to get a viewing or an answer to basic questions about the property - shouldn't they be a bit more motivated given I'm in a strong position to buy?) It's also on a major road and has a bus stop right outside.
The second one has a smaller garden (but again, hard to tell exactly how big it is without viewing) and it's NE facing (though again, hopefully long enough that a decent portion of it gets some sun). There's also no direct access from the back to the front, so it would not be easy to get manure/compost/wood chips etc. delivered.
I'm not sure that either of these will suit my gardening needs, but it feels good to finally get some viewings going. I'm told that there are a lot of requests for valuations right now, so hopefully the market will pick up again in a week or two (when I'm no longer on annual leave...)
