All above board.
All above board. It’s the middle of April and we’ve received all of the official documentation from the solicitors now so after nearly a year since we had our offer accepted we finally own it and have the paperwork to prove it. We are logged as the owners and have started the detail drawings for…
Aaaaand…..you’re done….nearly.
Aaaaand…..you’re done….nearly. Another new completion date of the 6th of March gets fronted up but comes and goes. As, a week later so does the 13th of March with more contracts needing signing apparently (despite being told this was all done two weeks ago!) and at this point, we can’t help but feel like we’re…
Are we nearly there yet?
Are we nearly there yet? So, the 20th of February, our completion date has come and gone with no news and so, we manage to get some information from our Solicitors on the 24th and it turns out whoever agreed to the completion date hasn’t actually completed any paperwork yet. I seem to be spending…
Is it done? Erm, nope.
Is it done? Erm, nope. So, we have a completion date of the 20th of February 2015!! We’ve had a nice Christmas break and although I’ve tried my best not to think about it, at the back of my mind has been the vague notion that it’s all going to go horribly wrong at the…

Patience of a saint.
Patience of a saint. Well, it’s November and it’s a pretty good job I’m a patient bloke as even my legendarily long fuse is being tested by this now. I seem to be on the phone every few days chasing people up and now things have started moving on it seems it’s just the Land…
Land Registry
Land Registry So, I didn’t know this but applications to the Land Registry can expire if you don’t provide the proof in a set timeframe. Apparently, no one else had heard this either and so I find myself on the phone to my new mate at the Land Registry in Nottingham explaining it is taking…
Who’s is who’s?
Who’s is who’s? This is getting a bit weird now, three months since we had our offer accepted and it seems the church is struggling to find proof of ownership, of a hall they seem to have been using for probably two hundred years! So, I find myself getting in touch with the Land Registry…
Planning for the future.
Planning for the future With such an unusual building coming on the market, there was bound to be interest from all angles, so after the sealed bids and our letter are submitted, we wait for a few weeks until finally hearing, on Rachel’s Birthday of all days, that our offer has been accepted! That’s quite…
