We are due to complete tomorrow... All the cars and borrowed horsebox are rammed and I know that waiting for the phone call from the estate agent to collect the keys is going to be agonising! Since the mortgage company didn't withdraw the offer by close of business today and nobody has died, I think we're pretty much there... :fc: :excited:
-
:excited: :excited: it's been a long wait. You deserve your dream. Enjoy your last night in the old house :sunshine: and look forward to a future smallholding :thumbsup:
-
You'll never sleep tonight :excited: Good luck with the move :sunshine:
-
Good lluck with everything tomorrow - take lots of photos so that you can remembr what it was like on Day 1, then you can map your progress :thumbsup:
-
:fc: :thumbsup: how exciting...hope it all goes well!!
-
Good luck for tomorrow :thumbsup:
-
good luck tomorrow!

Thanks, everyone. We won't be actually sleeping there until Monday night. Our tenants can't move in until end of next month so that's a bind but gives us more grace to clear and clean here...
Will report back tomorrow!
-
Good luck - it's odd to think that our own move was just 3 months ago but it's still so fresh in my mind
-
Thinking of you today - here's to a smooth handover and all systems go!
Having the extra time for clearing out the old place sounds easier than getting everything in both places sorted on the same day. I know there's a rent shortfall for a month but peace of mind and the freedom to take the time you need sounds good to me.

Didn't sleep well as predicted :)
Thanks everyone for your kind words, just have to wait for the call now!
-
Our own experience tidy old house as soon as possible the longer you leave it the harder it will be to leave the dream

I was thinking I bet they didnt sleep at all :-)
Think the month gap is a very good idea, we had it and it made a huge difference!
Good luck for today, tell us as soon as you get keys!

Wasn't our choice, to be honest, but it does give us some grace (and the mortgage payment is tax deductible...)
Just had a call from the purchase solicitors saying the funds have come through from our mortgage company but they haven't had the funds through from the remortgage. Spoke to the remortgage solicitors (not my choice to instruct them - it was a condition of the remortgage) and they've got the funds from the lender, so that's good, but they haven't sent it off yet and don't know when it will be. It's going to be a long wait but at least the money is out there!

best wishes for your new place :thumbsup:

Sorry for not posting an update... been busy moving! Stressful morning waiting for solicitors to sort their act out and especially when I had to pay more money because they'd made a mistake on the bill, for which I'm yet to be compensated but we have the keys!
So much to do and think about. Really tempted to stay there tonight as have taken all my camping stuff up so would have been perfectly comfortable but came "home" to give us an opportunity for getting some stuff done tomorrow before a wedding we're going to.
My workshop needs some shelving but at least I'll have a bit of space

Priorities ::) ;D glad you finally got the keys :relief: It's all yours now :excited:
-
It's all yours now :excited:
Once you've taken my wife's and the bank's share, I own about 10% :o
We then have to share it with my in-laws, who currently occupy 34% of the floor space :D
That's why the workshop is a priority!
-
Camping gear, workshop with space, sounds ideal :)
Congratulations on surviving the stress part, and enjoy the moving in and settling down. Hope you have nice neighbours and manage updates occasionally tho I understand you may have a few things to get on with for a while ;)
-
:thumbsup: :relief: , that's one hell of a workshop!! brilliant that you got there in the end
-
Proper move tomorrow, will be sleeping (or at least in a bed!) there...
-
:excited: :excited: have fun
-
Congratulations :thumbsup: . It is a lovely feeling when you finally get there :relief:
-
how exciting, wish it was us moving! enjoy the moment :thumbsup:

Wow! What an amazing place! Everyone seems so happy at the moment we're in danger of looking like a cult...
Previous owner left us a note not to use one of the stables due to nesting swallows and sure enough, there they are. I'm on mobile Internet at the moment so posting pictures really slow...
Woke up on the first morning (yesterday) to see a swarm of swallows darting about outside the window. Took the dogs up into the paddock at about 5:30 and saw the sunlight creeping over the hill. It's so quiet here. We're right by a road but even at rush hour there's little traffic

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: worth all the stress....... :wave:

Glad it's all worked out. :thumbsup:
