Got our house keys!
We had a bit of a panic yesterday. The solictor called to let us know that they had received all the moneies and we had completed, therefore we could now collect the keys from the estate agent!
I then rang the estate agent to ask them to confirm that with their solicitor so the keys could be released. It took about two hours for me to get through: it just rang engaged. When I eventually got though a machine told me no one was available and I should leave a message.
Anyway, a long story short, after about another hour of fustrating calls to the estate agent I finally got through, and they confirmed what we already knew.
We both finished early from work to pick the keys up and rushed round to the house, or we tried at least, the traffic at that time was heavy and moving slowly. The house is pretty much as we remember, although now that it’s empty it shows up what work needs doing and well as the need for redecorating. Not such a bad thing.
After unpacking some boxes we had a chinese from the take-away back in Melbourne and packed more of our things away. Tonight we’re having a bunch of people round to help us move in, with pizza and beer as a thank you. The camera will be out and some photos of the house shown on the site.
