Quit everything , and start again over 50?

Just spoke to my solicitor . I explained the neighbour issue .
He said it's just a tiff, not ongoing so it should be ok.
He agrees with me, that I shouldn't pay . He did say , I may have to compromise . He did say , that my flat hasn't needed maintenance in the past and it the buyers want it done, they can pay for it in their own time.

So , I wasn't paranoid about the scum next door . Just had a feeling.
I may have to pay more money to property mgt co for other forms the buyers solicitors need from the property mgt co replacing the one that was needed.

Everyone's busy here today
I'm applying a take it or leave it approach now.
If the survey is ok , that is enough.
The knife in my back is making me angry now.
If my 'neighbour 'dropped dead before completion , then that is good.
I would look after her cats though, if they struggled to find a home

Morning all. AC, looks like all is still progressing okay, now like LL said just go with the flow on your sale...


I know I keep saying this, but please find at least one removal company that can also store your belongings, as I suspect you are not going to have time to do a straight swap from Twickenham to Poole, as I doubt there will be sufficient time to complete legalities and checks on a rental or purchase for you if your buyer still wants in by end of October.


I'm off for a bit of Med sunshine tomorrow so won't be posting much for a couple of weeks due to slow and expensive ships internet, just watching mostly.

Thanks harz . Have a great time .
I'll look into removals ( thanks for that ). Can't really do much else
except start packing . May get stuck in this weekend .
3 nights broken sleep , and I am always fatigued at the weekends.
We'll see.
Has a call from estate agent( Poole) , couldn't answer .
Got a follow up emai. I replied to that explaining being on a train with low battery . Will probably call her this evening or tomorrow .

Trying to stay focused . Unfortunately , that means being scared at times .
Natural I guess

Do you suffer with anxiety AC? Is that because of your Myasthenia or does it predate that?

Hello cat:)
Not that I'm aware of . I just put it down as part of a huge ( for me) upheaval . Doing something like this on my own, at my age , is daunting to say the least. Because of the time frame for quitting the job ( less than a month ) , and finding somewhere ( rent ) it's a lot for anybody .
Then there's the neighbour , who has been mentioned potentially ruining the sale .
I tend not to think of any symptoms except the obvious( mg)
I have a tiny bit of psoriasis on my shins .Thatll soon go .
Before the diagnosis of mg ( 2 years ago this month) I had no symptoms of anything and drug free.
Losing the weight , and a break from the usual could clear a lot

Thanks

Amazing really .. last year between June and September , I was thinking and trying ways to remortgage and stay put .Affordability said no.
I tried for loans . Same answer . If I did remortgage , I'd probably be doing this move a few years later . Being older, it probably would've been harder . Another quiet , and calm Friday . Friday's have been mainly quiet for about 3 years at least .

I feel relaxed again , but tired . On a train home . Some food when I get in, and a power nap will make me normal again

I may look at somewhere to spend Christmas on my own .
( no , not the flat I'll be renting ) just might do something this year

As we head towards page 100, of this thread I have more news.
Email from solicitor : Buyers solicitor playing hardball, expecting eaves and fascia to be done now . My siolicitor advised me to get onto chase Buchanan . In the meantime , he replied telling them that they have a £10k reduction on asking price, and it's sold as seen.

So, I phone chase Buchanan telling them , I'm not paying for it.
I explained the neighbour complained, because I asked her to trim her garden. I explained I haven't the time, due to work commitments and illness. Also, that if they want October completion as do I, it won't happen because it's too time consuming .
Chase Buchanan understand. It'll only be about a couple of hundred quid anyway. It may be that I pay£100-150 as a compromise.
Will probably find out on Monday .
All part of the stress of moving, so I'm still relatively calm
