Finding our New Home

To continue the story, knowing that I had money for the deposit coming through and that we had to find somewhere to live we contacted the local estate agents and started looking at properties for in what we thought was our price range. The properties were all three-bedroom semis or end of terrace properties.

I say 'we' but in truth my partner Charmaine did all this as I was at work during the day. She some some that looked liek they were decorated by someone who was colour-blind, some that needed to be re-built and some that were just odd. In the end we actually found the place we want when we viewed together. It was in the week between Christmas and New Year and we knew as soon as we walked in that it was perfect.

To cut a long story short we negotiated a price and agreed that the lady living move out by mid February. She had her own reasons for wanting to move quick.

All I had to do now was arrange a mortgage - ha ha, not as easy as it sounds.

Stop Press Latest News

Sorry to break from the order of events of the other postings but the latest news is that I have finally received a cheque from Mountfords' solicitors for the agreed sum of £507.50.

I have won. I just hope the cheque clears.

I will continue to relay my story through this blog as I still wish to assist anyone else who finds themselves in a similar position.
