A quick house update. After our offer was accepted last week, we’ve properly instructed our solicitor, and signed scary mortgage forms. A surveyor is ‘getting back to me’, whilst our mortgage advisor is checking with the building society about how much an extended survey will cost through them.
The chain seems to be OK – our vendors have apparently already found a house to buy and put an offer in.
It’s all sounding and feeling particularly ‘real’ now.
I meant to ask Matt, how close is the nearest DIY store?
From my experience, the closer the better is the rule of thumb. Stops you having to spend so much time in the car/traffic.
Because you WILL be doing DIY, oh yes, you will…
Yay… I can’t wait
Google says Homebase is 0.9242 miles away (http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=949324), but really… plumbers don’t usually write their own websites, why should I do my own plumbing?
Oh my young naive Padawan, it’s not a case of what you should or shouldn’t be doing, it’s a case of what Mary will or wont make you do
0.9242 miles is a long way to carry a new set of shelves, 4 cans of paint and that electronic pipe detector you’ll only ever use once…
