Scary

So we've had the first visit to our new house and it's rather scary... There seems a lot more work to do than either of us remember! It's hard to know where to start and it's a little daunting, but hopefully it'll be all worth it in the end!

'Before' photos to follow...

Wooo hooooo!

Two happy bunnies! Off to pick up the keys!

So close!

The monies have arrived, the monies have been sent to where they need to go, we're just waiting on them arriving and then the keys should be ours!!! So exciting, yet so tense!

Half way there!

The money has arrived! We can complete on the sale of this house! But it may be too late to complete the purchase today... Which means... We're homeless!?

Spoke too soon?

After all this waiting we still don't have the keys! How can this be so difficult? Money hasn't arrived at the start of the chain so it stops everything else after it... Half an hour left until it's a definite NO for today :-(

Solicitor Woes

Three and a half months since we had the offer accepted on the house and we're finally here, Completion day! It's not been as straight forward as we'd hoped... Constantly waiting for paper work, leasehold management companies taking the p!$$ and the most worrying part: a lack of building insurance threatening to stop the sale!

Fingers crossed though, this time tomorrow we'll have the keys and be the proud new owners of or project house! Fingers crossed I can sleep with all the excitement.

Waiting for the keys...

Three months since we had an offer accepted on the house and we're still waiting on the keys... We've both got itchy feet and just want to get stuck in!
