Moving House And What Is Happening! It's So Stressful!!

They say moving house is one of the biggest stresses in life, the upheaval and uncertainty, add unknown into the mix too and you're starting to create a cocktail of emotions. We sold our house as chain free to create a mor attractive proposition for the buyer and to create leverage in our arsenal when purchasing also not being tied and dependant to a house sale ourselves. As the video explains, there were many a hurdle when we bought our house despite both sides being chain free it still took over 6 months, this time round it sold quickly as we had all papers in order. Unfortunately a house we are looking to purchase is in a chain and onward in a chain and so on, the chain is yet to close so we will be in abeyance for an unknown amount of time! Alas, as with anybody in this situation, we are lucky to have found a suitable in between home with limited disruption so we will await the path and see what comes. But yes, lots of people charging you lots of money for doing relatively little, solicitor takes 1% estate agent takes 1%, 2% penalty to your mortgage for paying it off early and the list goes on. Maybe renting is the way forward instead as each time you buy a subsequent house in the UK you have to pay a levied surcharge in thresholds based on the amount of the house as a stamp duty land tax also and that's a big one! Anyway as I write this we've already moved into our bungalow and everyone seems happier so we'll take the positives as they come!

I’ve been watching you pre-Amelia days when you had red hair. Of all the hair colours you’ve had since, this one brings out your beautiful features. It really suits you.

I'm sorry you had to sell your beautiful home. I can sympathize with the loneliness you guys must have felt being so far from family and friends. You will always have support from your fans, especially ones like me, who have been watching your channel since Phil was a youngster. Thank you for sharing a part of your lives with us. Good luck and God bless

Aw, Niko is so happy next to you. You are wonderful with your pets and kids.

Teddy's head took 40% of the screen when he's in it 😂

Emma I’m grateful you posted this AFTER you actually moved into the rental home because I would’ve been worried sick about your family being homeless! Now everything is settled for the time being & that’s a relief Thanks to our lovely OG’s, Beautiful Niko & Milo the Magnificent for their cameo appearances, & to Teddy for being Teddy. Much love from the U.S.! ♥️🥰🇬🇧🇺🇸

I’ve never realized how wolffish and handsome Teddy is. You guys take great care of him, our favorite good boy. 👍

Emma good luck and thank you for explaining how buying a house is different in England. No matter what it is a stressful process. You are so kind to continue to give us glimpses into your life.

I love Niko’s growling towards Teddy, it’s her turn on the couch with mum! 🤣
She’s asserting her alpha in a loving way! 🥰

You get an idea of just how huge Teddy 🐻 is when Emma's holding him like that 🐕

[nbusser]

So glad you were able to find a rental

Emma your such a good soul. A good Lady . Lucky dogs and cats. And kids. And lucky Papa Shane .

You are not the only content creator with social anxiety! I think it's fairly common.

I'm so glad you found a property that welcomed your animals. Chains/contingencies being so many owners deep don't happen in the US. Buying a home is difficult enough without adding potentially multilayered ownership chains.

Your videos are a breath of fresh air. Lovely to see the littles and pets with their antics.

Nico still Top Dog. The bond between Em and the dogs was clearly shown there. Hope you find a house to buy soon Em xx

I know the dogs are beautiful but I never realized how big they are ❤

I am watching you now and you have found a place to rent so that step has worked out for you. I hope that you find your next home soon. I love to watch your family, you are great people and to hear that you're making sure your kids feel comfortable is so refreshing. I have heard so many times that kids will adjust and see what a toll it takes on their social interaction breaks my heart. Kudos to you both. I am keeping you in my thoughts and I cant wait for the next chapter in your lives.

[PattyKopelman]

I’m glad it appears you’re settled now in rental house! I wish each of you all the best!! You are a beautiful family and you all appear so kind and confident!! I hope you’ll find the perfect house in the perfect location soon!❤

[Paula-uey]

Glad you are OK. You are all very special in this weary world and
Blessed with goodness. Thanks for sharing with us!

Selling a house in the UK sounds complicated. However, when I bought my house in the USA, it took 5 months to get tenants out and to close on the house. After three years and a bunch of money spent I had to sell it. Took another 5 months to close because of “issues”. Then I moved into a senior citizen rental. They only allowed dogs less than 25 lbs. lucky my dog weighed 15! Here it is similar to UK, rentals do not want dogs. Sorry you are dealing with this stressful situation and wishing you and your entire family all the best!

[ladyjustice]

The best thing I could tell you is to trust yourself. Hang tough, you will find the right place for your family.

[susancooper]

I totally understand your reasoning about being too isolated. I did wonder if you and Shane ever managed to have date nights together, really important to have time out. Also, lack of friends and family must be very trying. You had such a beautiful home with loads of land but that isn't always the most important thing in life. I am writing this after your move to the bungalow - your halfway home! Sensible to give yourselves time to work out where you want to go in the future. Good luck - you really deserve it. XX
