22 Mar 07 Approved

Not sure whether to break out in a dandy celebratory boogie, or hide under the blankets for the next 25 years… but today we received notification that our mortgage was approved.

YAY?

Now the bank sends papers to both us and our solicitor, and next comes the valuation of the property. Our solicitor cashed the cheque, but aside from that we haven’t heard if she’s actually begun her research yet.

Next week more shall become clear, I think, and we’re still hoping to move by the end of April.

Moving from this flat soon is a good idea too, since new construction is set to start on either side of us any day now. Jackhammers can be distracting. Also, we never imagined we’d see our neighbourhood get gentrified as soon as it has! Around the corner on Whitechapel Road is a freaking Starbucks “Opening Soon”.. !! Shocker. Where we’re going there’ll be no sign of Starbucks for a long while.
