House update

We had a survey on our house today. Mick had said they will be here between 9 and 11, to which we both assumed meant at some point between 9 and 11. But at the stroke of 9, just as I was finishing off the hoovering, the bell rang and the surveyor arrived. He quickly informed me that he would be here for at least 2 hours!!!! So Mick had a very long walk around Bradgate with the dogs, and when he got back at 11, the surveyor was still here. He went at about 11.45!!!

He said he was struggling to find anything negative but did find a few little things, like sticking doors (thanks to Laura banging them!) and dripping guttering in a couple of places. I think the valuation was OK, so hopefully nothing that will put our buyers off.

Anyway have to press on with a survey on the one we're buying. I don't think we'll go for the big expensive one as they do cost a few thousand and as we will be doing lots of building work, we'll deal with anything that arises.

The plan is to move on 20-21 August, fingers crossed!
