Thank you Latoya that’s very kind 😁😁 I’m glad you enjoyed it and sorry we kept you waiting for it. We tried to get it uploaded as soon as we could. 👍👍 oh amazing that’s awesome I hope you’re enjoying it so far 😜 it definitely is the best feeling 🥰
OMG your in, I was wondering when that would be, so excited for you, was really looking forward to your house tour. First of all the view of where your house is, is beautiful, and I love all your choices. Many congratulations. Love Karen.xx
Thank you Karen, yeah it’s finally happened 😂. Hopefully the tour was ok and you enjoyed it. Thank you very much that’s very kind. The view did turn out better than we expected. 😜 Much love back to you. 👍👍
It's a beautiful house, and it's just the way YOU want it! I've watched a zillion UK house videos, and 90% of them have what you have, a living room with only one entrance. If I bought your house (which can't happen 'cause you'll be there 90 years from now) I would put a doorway from the living room into the kitchen. But that's just me. When you landscape your back garden, think about planting a shade tree. Practically no one in the UK has a big shade tree in their garden, only little, puny fruit trees. Congratulations on your new home!
Thanks Bob, really appreciate it. It is yeah we planned a lot for our options to make it how we wanted it. We do plan to be here for a while yeah haha 😂 . Some great ideas, definitely thinking of some trees in the back garden, will keep in mind. Thanks again 👍
Congratulations. You can be a KOL of Bellway Home because my wife and I are also looking forward to buying a Bellway Home soon after watching your video..... We can 200% feel how excited you are.
Thank you Rick that’s very kind, not sure about being a KOL but hey why not 😂😂. That’s amazing super excited for you both we have found them to be very good in terms of quality and value but even service as well. I hope you have fun with your journey as well 👍👍🥰
My partner and I have both been waiting for this video! Congratulations 🎉 looking forward to see what you do with the house! We have bought a quilter with bellway and chosen the same kitchen cupboards as you! After seeing your kitchen we are so happy with our choice they are stunning! Once again very helpful video :) x
Thank you Danielle that’s very kind, I’m glad you enjoyed it. Oh yessy lots of plans coming up. With the garage, garden and the stuff we’ve ordered to name a few. Oh very nice hopefully it’s not too much longer for you. Might be biased but you have chosen well 😂😂 they are soooo good. Thank you again 🥰
Thanks Charlene I’m very glad you have enjoyed the videos. I felt so bad when we lost the house demo and tried hard to upload this asap. We should finish moving on Saturday and they should be uploaded a week or so after depending on internet in the new house 😂😂😂
Haha 😂 I’m sorry to have kept you waiting. Had a nightmare with the house demo Vlog and tried hard to upload this as soon as we could. Thank you very much Tara we shall do our best 😂👍😁
So happy for you ! We bought a newbuild, moving in date is in april. So excited to see if our tile and carpet choices look ok too ! Cant wait for that turn the key moment ! I love your house. All the best X I'm following your channel.
Aww thank you Nic. That’s very kind and we appreciate it very much 🥰. Oh wow not long now then April will soon be here. I’m sure your choices will be awesome and look amazing. The turn the key moment for us was a weird one super exciting but surreal it hasn’t settled yet that we have a house. Thank you once again. All the best to you too 😁👍👍.
Wow wow wow, over 100 likes, over 6k views and over 400 subs thank you all very much. Never did I think a video of ours would hit 100 likes that’s amazing, you are all wonderful 👍👍❤️
Been waiting for this update, great choices throughout the house. The spot lights make a huge difference. The half tiling in the downstairs toilet just makes it look class, something myself and my partner did and will be doing again when we go for our 2nd new build 😁. Can't wait to see the house decorated and furnished. Congratulations on your new home by the way 😄
Thank you Stefan 👍 nice to hear you like to choices. Agreed yeah the spot lights were a must we originally had 32 but had to reduce to 19 in the end 😂😂 Yeah the half height was a must as well didn’t want to go without it. Oh nice moving into your second very nice, thanks once again yeah we shall do another tour thingy once all done. With updates throughout 👍👍
breathtaking! waiting for my house now, i chose upgraded kitchen, with navy blue cabinets, white marble worktop. Just cant wait! Gratulations! Your house is beautifull!👏👌👍🍾
Love the kitchen! We were going to choose similar cupboards but changed our mind at the last minute and went for a lighter colour because my husband was afraid it would look too dark ☹️ now I wish we went with our original choice! We hopefully get our keys in April so I can’t wait to move!
Thank you very much, honestly the wife was the same she thought it would be to dark. We got there in the end though. Very please with the choice. I’m sure whatever you have picked will look amazing 😁😜 Oh April is only round the corner exciting times, have fun with the move and congratulations on the new house.
Congrats! Great choices! We are going for our extras meeting with bellway for our Weston this weekend. What option did you go for with your kitchen counter top? And if you are comfortable with sharing the price.
Thanks Liam honestly really appreciate it. Have fun with your upgrades and extras, dangerous work though end up spending a lot 😂😂. Not at all bud we went with marble scirocco (hopefully spelt correctly) counters and they were free. They were part of the standard options so all free 😜😜
Afternoon Rochelle. Thank you very much. Yeah the windows are interesting. They were the developers choice and the different phases of new builds have different style grilles. 😁👍
Lovely home! Huge congratulations to you both! I really like your taste, you have given us a lot of good ideas for our new built :) It's a really good space as well. May I ask, do you happen to know the total floor area of the house? Just to envision how it might compare to ours. Have a splendid day !!!
Thank you very much. Glad we could help 😁😁 we love it so far and haven’t regretted any choices yet anyway 😜. I’m really sorry I don’t know the square footage, it wasn’t something that was important to us after we fell head over heels for the house. 😂 It may be on Bellway’s website but I’m sorry not sure.
Many Congratulations for your new home! Wish you the best! - Just a qq - why you didnt go for the garden turfing from the builder? Also, very much waiting for the vlog on your garden! cheers!
Thank you very much, means a lot. We have a massive plan for the garden and if we opted for turf in the garden we would’ve ended up tearing up like a third of it anyway, we felt it would be easier this way 👍 garden will be coming soon been mad with three storms since moving in which has put us starting on it back a little 😩
@@DevoVlogs Agree! We are also in process of getting a new home from Bellway only and our choices selection appointment is near, we also do have some plans for Garden, but trying to make a decision on Turf! But thanks for your response. God Bless!
You’re more than welcome. Anytime. I’ll try my best to help. Oh congratulations yourself have fun with the options we ended up going for like 4 meetings I think. Didn’t choose the main bathroom until the day we paid 😂😂😂. Have fun and be safe 👍
What a lovely house! We’re thinking about buying a Bellway so this is really useful! Sorry if you’ve covered this in another video but can I ask why you didn’t get the built in wardrobes done with Bellway? Or it might not be an option but just wondering 😊 thank you in advance!
Good evening, thank you very much we’re enjoying it so far 😆😆 it’s all good don’t worry. We couldn’t justify the large price tag. We were just offered basically the doors and one rail. We wanted a fully custom interior as well so decided against it. Not a problem anytime. Thank you again 👍👍
Congrats! Can you share if you use any snagging surveyor to report snagging in your new house? When you need to report the snagging and any deadline to report snagging? 🙏
Thanks very much 😁 of course, we are going to use a company called snagsure and the time limit to sort out snags (we’ve been told) is two years. Depending on when we hire snagsure and depending on when Bellway get the snagging report. The sooner they get it the better of course. In the first three weeks on site deal with any snags we’ve found initially, we gave them a list of things we noticed. For example our bathroom doors were getting caught and not opening properly so they got a joiner in to fix it 2 days after we told them. So far they have been great and we’ve not had too much to sort out. From now on it’s Bellway customer care we have to go through.
Thanks Erin glad you enjoyed it. The half height tiles for us was £296 which we thought was abit much but turned out to be worth it in our opinion. Probably worth mentioning that it may be more if the WC is bigger. (Sorry if you already knew that 😂)
Evening Jackie. Many congratulations to your son 😀. We had our first fix meeting in Dec 2021 and picked up the keys end of January 2022 so around 6 weeks or so. 👍👍
Thanks ever so much for your speedy reply. That’s great to know as it’s been a bit of a journey so far.My Son reserved one of heir Mason 3 bed semi last March which he should have been moving into no later than this month.Due to unstable ground to the plot he chose the foundations had to be removed so is still just a hole in the ground.Luckily he has been able to move over to another Mason which is now nearly up to first floor.Due for completion between July- September.We have our fingers crossed. Hope you’re still enjoying living in your new Bellway home.
You’re very welcome. Wow that sounds like a nightmare, as long as he moves into a good secure home not at any risks I guess will be the main thing. Unstable ground wow that could’ve been bad. Glad he was able to get to another plot. Fingers crossed for him 👍👍 oh absolutely we are loving it so so much. Still loads to do though and we’ve just bought a new puppy so that’s ….. been fun 😂😂
@@DevoVlogs I’ll bet! Hope you have lots of fun with your new pup.. As long as they know you are the boss and have boundaries you’ll not go wrong.Just like naughty children haha. We have a 13 years old Whippet and my Son bought a Whippet puppy last July.She has been a little terror haha. Chewing her toys up within minutes. I’ve lost count of the beds she has destroyed in her cage.Tried to dig her way out of our living room door so now got a patch of carpet missing. Only put down last year😒Seems to be finally leaving it alone now. Fingers crossed. Wouldn’t part with her though as the love and joy you get from dogs is unmeasurable. Glad you’re enjoyed our new home.
That’s amazing thanks for sharing. Got to love dogs. So far limited environment and he’s doing very well with crate training, sit and stay, threshold and food manners so far so good. A few annoying moments for sure though 😂😂 and he did try and dog his way out of his bed much like yours. Thank you again hope your son enjoys his as well. On a side note that’s very kind of you to ask for him. 😁
Hello Sonny, thanks for watching. We weren’t able to negotiate a price it was a set price, in fact our plot/property was the only house on the site to have its price increased based on its location, garden and drive. They called it “a special plot”
@DevoVlogs thanks for sharing that with me, just trying to do some research on what these guys are like to negotiate with before i give it a go myself.
Hey hey thanks for the comment. We both work Full time in different industries. We saved hard and it took us approx 14 months to save for the deposit and a further 9 months to save for the options and extras. Hope this helps. 👍👍
Hey thanks for watching, overall the upgrades cost between £8700 - £9500 I can’t remember the exact figure. It would’ve been about £3k more but we got a lot of kitchen appliances as incentives 😁 We have a cost breakdown video of you wish to watch a full breakdown 👍
Hey Daniel thanks for watching. We didn’t end up getting a quote from Bellway direct because it was going to be £300 minimum. So we ended up going with a third party after we moved called Made to Measure (.co.uk) who quoted £89.99 but it’s self installation. Hope that helped 👍👍
Thanks for watching Emma, we haven’t installed it yet. Ordered and dispatched, but it shouldn’t be that hard abit of mirror adhesive and caulk the edge. If we can’t do it we have a member of the family that is in the build trade so no doubt he’ll help if we mess up 😂😂 we shall definitely report back on a video or the community page on how difficult it was when we come to install it. Congratulations on the new house 😁😁
Morning sorry for the late reply. Update wise, been struggling with getting a video up. Been very unwell recently and that garden video was meant to be up two weeks ago at least. Waiting on the inspection plates now and then patio is done. In the meantime we have finished a feature wall in the main bedroom so it’s likely that video will be next due to delays in delivery. Really appreciate you taking the time to comment and your patience and it’s probably hurting the growth of the channel with there being long between uploads but we’re doing our best.
I have a key tip for you..... DROP APPLE PRODUCTS. That is so awful you lost videos. Feel bad when you said that. Honestly, Apple is a waste. One cannot live without Windows. But Apple is like an independent system that if it didn't exist, we wouldn't be any worse off or miss it. But if Windows didn't exist, then we would think that kind of Apple "restrictive" computing... is computing. I feel like Windows is the WEST and freedom and APPLE is the East... centrally controlled computing. I am surprised it wasn't invented in Russia.
PS. External Hard Drives! Never trust any company to take care of your precious memories for you. They cannot be trusted and accept no liability for losses. I have 3 external hard drives. A main + 2 backups. One backup is simply a once a year update from the 1st backup. And the 1st backup I use every month (so only 12 times a year) to backup my stuff. I don't use the clouds at all. Samsung sent customers and email saying they are wiping their cloud in 12 weeks and moving to another one. So how useless is that? What if I went away and then came back or missed the memo. Wiped. Nah. You cannot trust them - only trust yourself.
Thank you for the tips. When it happened I was livid with apple and spent a good 4 hours talking to them on their online chat and then on the phone. 100% agree I’ve invested into some hard drives myself the cloud is to unreliable. Wow imagine Samsung just moved and deleted everything. That would be so frustrating. Thanks again I really appreciate it 👍👍
Morning, yeah big news to be honest. The weeds are gone (ish) lawn is finally down and the raised sleepers have been ordered so they should be in within the next few weeks. Weather permitting. We have had a few set backs, a few really bad storms which destroyed our gate and fence so we’ve had to prioritise getting the garden secured 😕
