10 May 07 Exchanging contracts

It’s been two months since we made the offer for the flat and today the anticipation of completing the purchase reaches its peak! In a few hours we will have handed over the 10% deposit and signed the contracts. Next week our bank will supply the big dough to the seller, then we’ll get the keys to our new home! YAY!

Which means we are moving house. There’s all the packing to do, transfer of utilities to manage, removal logistics to arrange, furniture to order, etcetera… For some reason that stuff doesn’t seem pressing since we have two further weeks to vacate our current flat, but it’s just a week until we turn the key.

  2. That’s Awesome!! You guys are home owners! You guys are home owners!

    But who are you fooling with talk of packing all your stuff? I’ve seen your apartment. You could fit everything you own in the back of a Mini Cooper.
