Re: The deed is done!
Hi RS. I have insomnia (lots to think/worry about and been working hard today). Thanks for your good wishes.
One major change will be the bathroom. My friend suggested taking the bath out and having a shower fitted, and I like that idea. This will be my forever home so I suppose I should consider it as a viable option.
My new home is now on Right Move as SSTC. I think, judging by what his next door neighbour was saying, that he is keen to move on and probs why he accepted my offer, being cash, and I’d sold. (He didn’t seem popular with the neighbours, is the impression I got.) As a housing association, shared ownership, my buyer is not likely to back out, living with her parents. So I am quietly confident all should go well. He wants to buy a park home and is still looking, and that purchase is unlike a bricks n mortar property. I just hope he does find something soon, so as not to hold it up my end.
I’m back in Lowestoft for 4 nights in a couple of weeks (now my car has been fixed) and have asked the agency if I can do another visit to the house, to ask more questions, look again at lay outs, current furniture sizes (what of mine will fit and where), look closely at his kitchen cupboards, look at the yard outside his kitchen, and if I can, view some rental properties. I would also want to have a look inside his shed, if he lets me. Has it got shelving, for instance, what can I fit in there...planning on putting in plastic boxes, my strimmer, garden and house hold tools, paint and other stuff that doesn’t need to be in the house. If my two carpet shampooers will fit in there as well, then another bonus.
Right, time to get back to bed. Thanks again.
