We put a bid in for the cottage on Thurs last week, which was above asking price but were unsuccessful when the closing date passed. We don't know what it sold for so we don't know how short we were of the price that it actually went for.
Not finished yet though, some other properties have appeared on the market in St Andrews that we are going to look at. I'm sure that we will be sucessful some time in the future with a bid on a property that would suit our needs.

Search Continues
OK, it's been a while, so a brief update on what we have been up to at TCCL Lodge.
A few weeks ago we went to look at a property for sale in St Andrews, which whilst needing some renovation would have been ideal for our purposes. Whilst the asking price was beyond our reach we did submit a bid (which was below the asking price) but affordable to us. However this was not successful as an offer of the asking price was made and accepted by the sellers on the closing date.
It was however a useful exercise and showed us what can be achieved in the St Andrews property market.
We are currently (11 Sep) looking at a 2nd Property within St Andrews which will require some extension / renovation to meet our needs, but it is at an affordable price for us. If we can meet the deadline for submission of a bid by the closing date, we would look I think to make an offer on this property.
If we were to be successful, then we would have a tangible reality to use for future fundraising, rather than just an aspiration as at present.
Will update the blog at the weekend with any news.........
