You should totally make the makeover series on your main channel because you're now a lifestyle channel!!! not just nails and makeup

[@charellemccarvill4843]

You should do a house tour when you’ve settled in! 💓

[@cerysgale]

My boyfriend and I viewed our house on also the 2nd of January, exchanged 2 weeks ago and got our keys today!!! 🏡 you won’t be long now!! 🏡🏡🏡♥️

[@Jess140594]

Cerys Gale thats so quick! You’re so lucky to have had it go through so fast

[@margot2656]

That's incredibly lucky! We put our offer down on 10th Dec and it's still ongoing 😫

[@VikkiPrints]

Put mine down the beginning of October 2019 and still only on offer accepted 😭 buying in a chain mannnn 😂 it’s so fab you got it so quick❤️❤️

[@georginalouise95]

Mine was in a chain and took 5 and a half months 😭 only got the keys a few weeks ago and there’s so much work to do I’ve had to move back in with my parents while it’s all being done (specifically no bathroom and no heating!)

[@Laurafulx]

I bought a house with no chain and it took 6 months to get the keys!

[@minstride5169]

Last time I was this early Soph didn’t like blush 💕😂

[@caseyh8386]

Oh bless your heart 😂 when you said it had been a month and you didn't have a move in date I just thought "oh hun, just you wait" 😅 took us 4 months to get our date and we closed literally 4 days before our mortgage offer expired. Ended up having to get really naggy with the solicitors (don't be afraid to do that btw, they're used to it and sometimes they're just sitting on your paperwork as 'non urgent') hope you close soon, I know how frustrating the wait is xx

[@georgiaharding7870]

Yep, 6 months from offer accepted to getting our keys and there was no chain!

[@Bethington-19]

I just moved with my parents. We put our house on the market Feb 2019. Accepted the buyers offer end of August 2019 and then we’ve finally moved 12th Feb 2020!! I feel your pain! (Doing it all over again at the end of the year to move out of my parents house)

[@shelleyj210]

I had my offer accepted in Feb 2019 and didn’t get the keys til August. It’s a pain because a good 60% of the process is out of your control. Hope you get the keys soon!! I’m excited for you both x

[@seluniteloki]

If it helps, when I bought my house, we had our offer accepted end of June, and move in date wasn't until mid-September. But that was with no chain, it can take longer if there's a chain.

[@bertiec93]

Mine took nearly 6 months and there was no chain

[@siobhanmcconnon7318]

please can you do a house q&a as it will be very helpful to know more about the process

[@pinkemma88]

I say put them on your main channel! Nothing wrong with a few different style videos! 🥰 good luck!

[@meagangarrison9066]

emma morton she is sophdoeslife now after all!

[@kaitlincurrie1808]

My boyfriend and I are planning on looking and buying this year and this has made me so excited but so nervous as it does seem so complicated! I feel you with the age thing, I hope this doesn’t put the sellers off us! I’m 21 and a mental health nurse and Chris is 23 and an electrician so we have our heads screwed on but of course we look young! Excited for the transformation videos, you are killing it!❤️

[@Claudia-no6sm]

Hey Soph, I’m 22 and I bought my first house in October last year. It’s not easy and it takes a long time, but you should be super proud. Hope you get a date soon!

[@gabbybourne5131]

Please do a get ready with me using the look in the start of this video! your makeup and hair look incredible and I would love to know what products you used/ what you did! xx

[@emmalcm]

It's funny how you'd assume it's higher offer wins before you start the process but it sometimes turns out to be based on more than that. We bought our first house almost 2 years ago and there was a cash buyer (I suspect a landlord) who offered more than us but it was the seller's parents' home and he wanted it to go to a couple or family who would look after it rather than just be something to make money out of. We had our offer accepted in the first week of Jan and got the keys mid March so very quick, but the house was empty so no chain and the seller wanted it to move quickly because he'd accepted an offer from someone who pulled out. Good luck with the paperwork and getting solicitors to hurry up-ours were a bit of a nightmare when I was trying to hurry things up, knowing that the seller wanted to get it all sorted fast x

[@willowdarceyl9714]

Yay how exciting! Can’t wait for all the house related content it’s my favourite 😈

[@Lewisfenty98]

I'm currently going through the buying process and ti has been ongoing since August!!! still not moving date! so stressful but worth it

[@komalpreetkaur6458]

I was literally just looking at James hands in the beginning sorry soph 😂😂

[@txhmima]

Sameeeeee🤣🤣🤣

[@nicolefitzgerald3676]

Omg listening to your video sounds like the exact situation my boyfriend and I are in, we are currently 46% complete with buying our house (so the solicitors say) honestly the most stressful but most exciting time ever!!!!!! We are both 23 and 24, well done guys xxxx

[@meagangarrison9066]

Just bought my first house at age 29 😂 but we made an offer at the beginning of December and didn’t close/move in until the end of January. We also put in an offer when the house had been on the market for about 4 days lol but that’s how quickly houses go where i live. Excited for you two though!

[@Beauty-mad]

Huge congratulations to you both! Buying takes time but the best comes to those who wait. I wish you both all the very best in the world for a bright and happy future in your new home together! Xxx

[@alicem7457]

So excited for you to do home makeover/transformation videos! I also agree you should put them on your main channel, maybe do a behind the scenes/longer chatty home videos for this channel 💕

[@aimee81094]

Buying your first house is so exciting!! My partner and I bought ours at the end of least year it was a long process! Our offer was excepted at the beginning of August and we didn’t get the keys until November! 😬

[@beckyxx2039]

so excited for u

[@samanthagaudet1461]

Hope that you get a move in date soon. Way to go. Saving up is always so satisfying.

[@jordanskidmore2994]

I work for an estate agents and you generally look at 3 months from sale to completion with no chain , obviously it can take longer depending on the legal side. I’ve just bought my first house at 18 and my partner is 19 after renting a flat for 6 months ☺️

[@skyville5]

Buying our first home was so stressful too- I remember just not knowing if i should be contacting solicitors to ask what to do next or if they’re just doing it themselves!? There was SO much paperwork to send back and forth 🙄 finding witnesses for the contracts... it just takes over so much of your life! But is SO worth it in the end- what an incredible investment and to be able to do it so young too is amazing- feel like I’m going through the journey all over again with you 😅 so excited to see your new house!! 🏡 💕

[@eriiiberiii6906]

Witnesses for contracts!? 😬 oh dear... weve still got all this to go through 🤣 xx

[@skyville5]

Eriii Beriii sorry I never saw your reply to this comment!! I hope it’s all been going smoothly for you- assuming with the current situ you’re sitting ducks atm! Xx

[@xMyNameisRosiex]

Super excited for all of the moving vlogs! My partner and I got our offer accepted on our first house in January 2019 and our move in day wasn't until June 2019, haha! Just gotta be patient and enjoy buying all the homeware! I would REALLY recommend organising to go back to the house and take ALL the measurements (the ones on estate agents plans wont be 100% correct). Then you will be able to plan furniture and buy a sofa! Sofas can sometimes take 3 months plus :( Goodluck! xxx

[@monwarabibi9168]

I would love to know what percentage deposit you're putting down and how long your mortgage would be. I finish uni this year and am hoping to start looking at houses next year ♥️

[@SkittlesAreFab]

I bought my first house at 19 years old. It only took us 2 months to move in as we had no chain. Just be patient good things come in time💜 Good luck!!😘

[@ameliaraper357]

House buying is stressful! I'm 20 and me and my partner lost one property, two weeks before completion leaving us £2000 out of pocket, and the next one we started the process with got repossessed! We have got fingers crossed for it being third time lucky but im so glad its gone well for you! We started this process back in September and are still no closer!

[@shojkxla]

You should totally do a tour of it! And a series of decorating and makeovers!

[@pippakessel2953]

They are fab glasses cases the sides fold in and go flat.. great to keep in your bag or pocket

[@hayleyrogers7997]

So excited for you!! I was 22 when I brought my first house last year 😊 xx

[@its_shannon_]

So excited for you! I love watching moving vlogs to get inspo as I'm 22 and currently doing a nursing degree, I won't qualify for atleast 2 years yet as I'm having time out but I'm hoping to get my own house when I've been qualified and in my job for atleast a year.. I've been saving for a while as I am able to still live at home while I go to uni, just what I can here and there but it all adds up.. anyway goodluck🤞🙂x

[@nicolecummins9097]

I have never related so much to a video up to now! I bought my home last year I was 22 at the time and same thing I was never one for going out! Best decision I ever made 😊😊

[@heatherlauder6192]

I'm so excited for your moving vlogs! I just turned 23 in February as well and my boyfriend is 26 and we bought our first house in December (we did the same as you and lived at home right up until we bought it) ❤️ it's such a (stressful ngl) but massively exciting time, we're still changing things and buying things and making it into our home and I just love watching moving vlogs and seeing other people experience it as well. 😁❤️🤗

[@laurenfay3700]

Heather Lauder congratulations 🥳 and good luck with everything ❤️

[@heatherlauder6192]

@@laurenfay3700 thank you so much ❤️ it's going well so far 😊🤞

[@Sorikee]

It's almost impossible to save up in Ireland now for a mortgage. I'm delighted for you that you can afford to buy your own place. 😘 I like your new glasses

[@kate3404]

waiting for a moving date sucks so much, my partner and I put an offer on a house at the beginning of October last year and waited until mid-December to have the keys, it feels like forever!! but you'll get there 😊💕

[@chrisnakruger1743]

We just bought a house in January as well our first. It was love at first sight online then we saw some other houses and then got a viewing for this one. It was on market for a while so we werent rushing looking at other houses to compare. Then the agent phone to say there was an offer made and we immediately jumped in with our offer and got it!!! So excited for moving in date in June!!!!!!!

[@toriamondsen5763]

so exciting you found a house!! hoping you'll get and date soon, such a great way to start off the spring/summer season! also you should do your transformation videos on your main channel!

[@teegzyb]

Myself and my fiance are in this exact position right now! currently waiting on a moving in date. It has taken us months but it's so exciting! I hope you get the date very soon! Xx

[@jo6159]

so cute, and congrats. i bought my first place 6 months ago. it never works that quick im afraid. I had a quick move in date by most standards and that was just under 3 months from offer , but it will go quick trust me. And then you can look forward to decorating

[@joannefindlay3754]

Hi OMG why did I not expect this u have been talking about this in nearly every video good luck u deserve it x

[@emilyshort3086]

So excited for housing videos, empty house videos, moving vlogs, redecorating vlogs, homeware shops etc 😄 so glad you found somewhere you like 😊

[@jamie-mayhartman5412]

Omg you have to do a q&a video! I’m looking to buy at the end of the year/beginning of next year and would love to hear your tips and advice 💜 xxx

[@Trendniiq]

I work in a optician shop (not sure what it's called in English). I work as a stylist and help people pick frames for their glasses (I'm not an optician, only a stylist). And let me just tell you, that your new glasses are so pretty on you! They look a lot like your old ones, but they're a bit more "sharp" and "cat eye"-ish. The really suit you. They follow your eyebrows really well and the width is perfect for your face. I can tell you didn't choose what we call "blue coat" to protect your eyes from the blue light from digital screens, and as a youtuber I assume you do a lot of editing. I'm wondering why? Wasn't it suggested to you? Or did you decide not to get it? Also the lens thinning was a good choice. I can tell from your glasses that you're using minus, and the more minus you have, the more "zoomed out" your eyes will look (try looking at the silhouette of your head, how it changes when it's inside the glasses). You said you couldn't see very well out of the old glasses, so it means these ones have more minus than the other. But since you chose lens thinning, the different in the "zoom" kind of look the same. Wow, this is hard to explain in English. Either way, I just wanted to tell you, that your glasses look really nice on you. Good pick!

[@LianneeeB]

If it makes you feel better about the waiting... I had my offer on my flat accepted on 13th August last year and completed on 31st October and didn’t move in until 9th November! And I didn’t even have to deal with a bank/mortgage as I was a cash buyer so it really does just take time!!

[@melaniecharlton7121]

It takes a few months usually hun and even longer if the solicitor isnt on the ball.Also depends on how many are in the chain but good luck,exciting times for you!😊

[@zen_roses4940]

I would love a moving Q+A! I’m meant to be moving next year with my boyfriend and we have no idea what we’re doing or what the whole process is! So happy for you 😊

[@Lauramegan1212]

I’m so happy for you. Ive been saving to buy my first home for a few months now and I know it’s a long way off but I’m so excited

[@marcychapman]

Please do some more decluttering videos xx maybe decluttering your brothers room x

[@bethiac943]

I've literally just been through the process of buying a house and moved in last Friday and I'm 22 and I've only been with my partner for 2 and a half years. It is a very big thing but its amazing when you move out and can make it your own 💕

[@Megan-ek5bn]

I was smiling so much throughout this video from how happy you were :) how did you choose an estate agent? Is the house one story/two story? Is it close to where you live now?? These processes can be so long and I really hope you have a date soon!! I watch a lot of HGTV so I feel like I know a lot but really I don’t know much lol

[@probablyhyperfixating]

Aww so excited! It took us about a year to get a house, all the paperwork and stuff but we did the loan and income stuff first so we knew our budget before house hunting! Best way to go! We looked at 2 houses and found ours weve lived here almost 2 years and best decisions we ever made! So excited for you guys yay

[@marnie-jadexox8580]

Think this is my fave vlog you’ve ever done!!! Can’t wait for the moving vlogs xx

[@bethana1067]

the glasses case folds down and they are actually really good btw

[@emilygrant1541]

I got a glasses case like that with my ted baker ones, and she said to me, it folds down so if you want to take your case with you when your glasses aren’t in it it fold right down so takes up less space in your bag or whatever

[@seaglass7375]

Many congratulations Soph!!! And what a coincidence! I just moved in our first home too!!! We rent for the longest time and we had to save money before making the decision to buy. I agree, when you know... You know and you can't stop smiling!!!😊 Moving was excruciating and tiring BTW... But totally worth it 👌

[@rebeccadavidson2845]

I had to wait 4 months before I could move in to my house so I hope yours is a lot quicker for you! Can't wait to see it!

[@chloeobrien861]

Please can you do a video of the step by step steps you had to go through! I’m the same age as you and saving and don’t have a clue! X

[@kaitlinscott6575]

For our house the photos didn’t do it justice. We didn’t have much hope for it but ended up falling in love! We went to SO MANY inspections before finding the one. Best thing to do!

[@victoriatsaneva4622]

My partner put in an offer in February 2018 and didn’t move in until August 2018 if that helps. Solicitors just work really slowly. And since you asked - I would prefer updates on your main channel. 😊

[@kirstymclaren3670]

I bought my flat when I was 19 (sadly it wasn’t the nicest situation as I was only able to buy the flat due to family members passing away), but the estate agents were lovely and never treated me like I was too young or inexperienced at all. But damn it’s a stressful experience ahaha

I hope things are better now & you’ve settled in!💓

Omg the house I live in with my mum the process was so long!! From putting our first house on the Market in February time 2014 we were told we were moving in August/September 2014 however the person moving into our old house was having an operation so had to move out early but there were legal issues over land with our current house so we had to live with my mums friend for a month! This was right at the start of year 11 - we eventually moved in at the start of October but all the storage and stuff cost so much extra 😭 I’ve lived in 4 different houses with my family and 3 different uni places so I know all these struggles very well 😂

[@amycooper6142]

It’s so annoying that buying a house takes soooooo long. I viewed my house on 10th December (over four year ago) and didn’t move in till very end of March! 🙄 I was so annoyed!!

[@Chloe-Wheate]

I’m 23 and planning on moving out when I turn 24, I’m like you I know what house I want :) can’t wait to see the moving vlogs hopefully this will be good for me. Please do a house tour
