Am I Being Unrealistic? Winter Wobbles & No-Viewing Week | Episode 29

Am I Being Unrealistic? Winter Wobbles & No-Viewing Week | Episode 29 This week is a bit different — there’s no house viewing. I’m in Grantown-on-Spey, walking the dogs through the woods and trying to be honest about how I’m feeling in the run-up to Christmas. Housing stock around here is pretty thin at the moment, and I didn’t want to drag agents and sellers into viewings for places that only feel 60–70% right, just to make a video. I also talk a bit about why I didn’t go for the last beautiful house I viewed — the one many people thought I should have snapped up. It wasn’t the house that put me off. It was the neighbouring situation: an older lady living in difficult circumstances in the field next door with no family in the UK, and my knowing myself well enough to realise I’d lie awake worrying about her. At the same time, some viewers have started to question whether I’m being too picky or just “tyre kicking” for the sake of YouTube. So this episode is me taking a breath, explaining my thinking, and reminding myself (and you) that I really am trying to buy a home — I’m just trying not to bankrupt future-me or ignore real-life responsibilities in the process. If you’re new here, hello 👋 I’m living full-time in a tiny caravan with two dogs, wandering around northern England and Scotland looking for a small house with a decent garden and some sort of workshop. I have a fixed pot of money, I’m trying not to raid my pension too hard, and I need to be able to sell again if my health changes down the line. If you’re a regular, thank you for sticking with me through the highs, the heartbreaks and the winter wobbles. I can’t keep doing this forever — especially not in a Scottish winter — but I’m still hopeful there’s a compromise house out there that will work for me, the dogs and the numbers.
