We passed the house we nearly bought today and the people who (thankfully) pipped us to it were moving in. We're still hoping to be moving in the first week in may but the mortgage advisor we've been seeing thought it best to delay the re-mortgage on the wifes house until things moved on a bit with the new mortgage. The trouble is he seems to have forgotten about it and we are now facing a delay while he sorts out the paperwork which could have been done weeks ago. His theory was that we didn't want to be paying the buy-to-let mortgage before we actually moved but there are surely later stages that we could have held it up if necessary. Listening to the wife talking to him on the phone though is entertaining - he must be the only person who can talk more than the wife can!
We drove past the new house today (as I do everyday, just to make sure it's still standing)! The garden is blooming, it looks like the old lady took really good care of it and all sorts of colourful flowers are flowering already, and it's still only April. The garden is one of the main reasons we are buying this house and will be a priority once we move in. There is a gravel area just right for a veggie plot and a perfect spot for a greenhouse. It will take some preparing but I can't wait to start growing food. My only problem is that it's getting late in the planting season and will be several weeks before the veggie plot is ready. I'm tempted to start planting seeds in the propagator now but am worried that they die before we are able to transplant them (if they start growing at all, I'm not very green fingered, yet).
