We've bought a house!

[wellinghall]

Saw it online on Thursday evening. Rang up on Friday morning. Viewed it Friday afternoon. Rang up on Saturday morning to arrange a second viewing, to be told that an offer had been made. Made an offer ourselves. By Saturday afternoon, had upped the offer, and had it accepted. Wooh-hooh!

That's great news :)

(Although, to be boring, you haven't *actually* bought it as yet).

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :-)

And, you are, of course, correct. The offer is subject to survery and contract, and to the vendors being able to find a house they want to buy. So there is, in actuality, quite a long way to go. But hey, it's a start! ;-)

Congratulations on your newly found domesticity!

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :-)

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

Oh, certainly!

[lynn-maudlin.livejournal.com]

isn't that, like, nearly impossible when buying a home in the UK?! What about the long chain of other buyers/houses all interdependent? This must have been a stand-alone sale (all of ours are; there might be contingencies, but each escrow is for a single transaction).

Mazeltov!

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

Um, I may have been guilty of over-simplifying just a tad. We have made an offer, which has been accepted; but this is subject to (a) agreeing a satisfactory contract between us and them (via our solicitors and their solicitors); (b) getting a satisfactory survey completed; and (c) the vendors finding somewhere to move to. So yes, there's a long way to go yet. But hey, it's a start ;-)
