High on a hill....
It's all gone quiet. Not suprising really for a 'conventional' house purchase though.
The Surveyor should be doing the survey tomorrow and is due to report back at the end of the week. Hopefully the solicitor is also doing his stuff with searches etc. After the rush to see the place a couple of times and the excitement of the offer/rejection/offer process it's a bit of an anti-climax to now be sitting around waiting for something to happen. And unlike the auction process, where contracts are exchanged on the stroke of the gavel, we're into good old English gazumping territory where we can't be 100% sure if we'll end up with this house. But I'm trying not to be pessimistic...
Meanwhile it gives us time to think about Christmas and get some shopping in before we're packing up once more and buying essentials for the house - like a washing machine, curtains and a lock/handle for the back door!
