So Having pinched myself several times we now have to get down to the nuts and bolts of actually moving (Still can't believe it).
Yesterday I spent most of my time trying to sort out various things. Which including arranging the exchange on the house we are buying and Getting rid of the flat.
The exchange should be easy enough except for the deposit. You see all the money for our purchase is tied up in my Uncles house, which means we have to wait for that to complete. So I phoned the solicitor to check if we could exchange anyway (without deposit) having already paid a reservation fee. In the current market this was not a problem. So I am whipping down to the solicitors today with the paperwork. So this afternoon it should be official.
We then hit the first snag. Having miss read the contract for the flat I thought we could give 2 months notice at any time. Since we are moving on the 7th Nov I accepted that we might have to pay 2 months rent but since the flat is in a popular location it should go quick I was not too worried. unfortunately the dude at the agents said that actually what the contract said was that we could give 2 months in the 4th month of or 6th month contract. Confussed ??? You will be. Anyway had a chat with him and we managed to sort something out which may be cheaper than I thought. apparently we would have to pay a fee for breaking the contract which is 1/4 of what 2 months rent would be. I am still confused but they are now advertising the flat.
There is still a huge list of things we need to do.
BTW Jam last night was OK. Needed to bring more songs though as we got through 4 we had planned quickly and then did the "Do you know this one?"
