Flat buying updates: this time it’s happening
Sorry for the lack of updates lately. I’ve been variously too tired, elsewhere or just lacking in anything interesting to say. But it’s time for an update, I think.
The flat situation is idling at the moment. The surveyor was holding their verdict to ransom until we paid them. So, their fee was paid today and so the building society should have also received the valuation and will agree to give us money for that particular property.
When that’s out of the way the subject to survey bit will be done and, I suppose, a wee bit legal shenanigans takes place. After that it’s more or less over. Until then we still don’t really know when we get our grubby paws on the keys. Maybe a month, maybe more.
Meanwhile we have to think about letting our landlords ken we’ll be leaving — of course, we’ll need to know exactly when that is so we don’t find ourselves without a house — and look for furniture too.
You can see why I haven’t been blogging about this: it’s cos we basically haven’t a clue. ;-)
