In the home straight...
Slight panic on Saturday. A prospective tenant who came to see the house a while ago rang to check that it would be available from 1 November. I said, "I hope so, but I don't know."
The thing is, all has gone very quiet on the house move front. The estate agent told me they'd ring as soon as the solicitor got in touch to say "chocks away". Meanwhile the bank has sent out its offer, we have accepted it and we await their letter to the solicitor.
So today I called at the estate agent. "Our landlord has found a prospective tenant, who needs to move in on 1 November. He doesn't want to lose a tenant. I don't want to pay another month's rent. The solicitor has had the dossier on the house since July. Can you confirm that we can complete the purchase this month and if so, ask them what they are waiting for, please".
Half an hour later we were told that we should sign at the end of next week.
Jolly good.
Please pray that we will be able to do that. We would really like to get moved into the house ready for the end of the kids' half term, which is at the end of October.
