Surveying

For a week, I completely forgot that I had a blog (there must be reasons why I never managed to keep a diary for more than a week) and then I remembered last night whilst watching the excellent Heroes (no link...) so here we go...

A lot's happened since last post. The buyer's formal offer came in the post on Saturday morning and they came on that day for a second viewing. I took Issy (our 3-year old daughter) out while Nicky was doing the tour. The buyer turned out to be a very friendly Argentinian couple, who are very much alike some of our friends. They seem to be keen, which is reassuring, as there is always the fear that everything will collapse in the back of your mind. I guess they're feeling in the same way.

The viewing went well and things are moving forwards. We've both got our solicitor instructed and we've given her all the house documents we kept from the purchase of the leasehold 4 years ago and from the purchase of the freehold last year. This way, we've ensured that there is no delay in proceeding.

Yesterday morning, the surveyor did his survey and we are now waiting to see the result... We expect that he'd noticed a bit of damp but we're confident that the building is in good shape!

Until next time... cheerio!
