Just had a confirmed morgage offer!

[peelman]

The big day tomorrow them :party:

do we get them from the solicitor or the estate agent? Not sure we have been told? Not that it really matters, they are about 200ft apart :-)

Estate agent normally. :

Try not to stress out too much and good luck mate!! :clap:

Lots of painting done now and some flooring done, just have the gloss to do and get some wallpaper hung and carpets laid and we can then move in!

Absolutely nackered after the weekend!

Congratulations :thumb:

We are buying at the moment and hoping it doesn't drag on too long, mortgage, surveys etc all done and in place, so just the paperwork left :pray:

 

[BrotherMalice]

Good luck mate, ours seemed to take forever but its good to have the keys in my hand now :)

 

[peelman]

Yeah it does seem to take forever.. My offer was accepted in February and I only moved in last week and there was no chain...

Should be brewing in a week or two... :

 

[BrotherMalice]

Got to build a garage before I can get brewing - may have to get a cider kit on while I am waiting, less smelly than a full mash, aparently, not everyone likes the smell in my house

 

[peelman]

My Mrs walked out of the bedroom and said "what's that funny smell" the first time I did a Coopers kit in the spare room... Funny smell!! I almost reached for the phone to ring the divorce lawyers there and then :rofl: ...

That's why I built a shed in my old house..... :)

All being well we should have our keys by Friday lunchtime!! paid the deposit to the solicitor yesterday so it's all good to go. I can't believe the rush of relief getting that last bit of the puzzle done. I agree with whoever says moving house is the most stressful thing you will ever do.. not just moving, it's buying as well!!

 

[BrotherMalice]

Its the buying bit that did my head in, the moving bit is just hard work so far & I can deal with that :)

 

[narmour]

The packing isn't much fun either!! although when you have a fiance who is a project manager in her work it makes life a lot easier!!!

 

[BrotherMalice]

That would help massively! - I just have my wife and 3 children...

 

[Growler]

Try moving house on the Monday and getting married on the Saturday :shock:
thank God it was nearly fourteen years ago I might get over it soon

 

[BrotherMalice]

You win Growler! - did you move first and then get married or the other way around?

 

[Growler]

We moved in to our house on the 19th of July 1999 and got married on the 24th July 1999 so next wednesday is my 14th wedding anniversary

I was supposed to have the days between off but working as security at a shopping centre, one of my officers was ex catering corp and was doing the catering for me.
The Managment managed to mess up the holiday requests so I had to work so he could have the time off!!!

Still managed to get the new house unpacked and sorted before the wedding :clap:

funniest thing that happened was the day before the wife had booked me a facial :shock: in Debenhams in the centre so went in during my dinner break and whilst the rather lovely young lady was applying potions to what bits of my face she could get at (I have a full beard) I fell asleep sitting on a bar style stool!!!! :lol: :lol:
