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 being strung along by solicitors, probably feasting on the cash we’ve already transferred until all of a sudden, the 20th of March comes along, ten months since we had our offer accepted and we get word that contracts have been exchanged and we now own Temperance Hall!! I have no idea what the delay was all about but it doesn’t take long for the frustration to be replaced with excitement again.
That said, if someone had told me at the start of this it could take 10 months to buy something someone actively wanted to sell, I would quite possibly have laughed in their face (I wouldn’t really, I’m too polite) but now, I definitely know better!
Corporations change hands in less time. Astronauts make round trips to the moon in less time. Humans are grown in less time!
‘I’m sure the next one will be quicker’ I say to Rachel.
I’ve lost hair and sleep, but it seems my sense of humour is already returning.
