House Update
Well - finally there. We were meant to exchange contracts on 6th August but it was eventually the 1st of September....
To explain the delay is simple, and sad really. The house we are buying is a repossessed house. We knew this when buying it. When we went to see it, the house essentially had everything still inside, including very personal items. The bank were reluctant to exchange once these goods were still in there.
Unfortunatley the poor woman was in some denial and it was until the estranged husband turned up last week and managed to get 80% of the main house items removed that we could move forward. Even then there was some discussion about locks and access but this was eventually sorted out.
We are now left with a serious tidy up job and a rumble through quite a huge amount of stuff. The house also needs a lot of TLC and tidying but we will get there.
We are due to leave our current house and move into the new house on 18th September.

Good News indeed!
Sounds like the real work starts now.
If you need any help sorting/moving, you know where I am!
