    That sounds great!  As to 1960s legal English, yikes!  :D
    It is honestly quite something - there is one bullet point that runs across an entire A4 page. It's almost like Franz Kafka wrote it, just without the interesting twist a the end :D 
  • Oh its all moving along nicely, hopefully the lady will find her dream home soon!

    Thanks so much Sistergold! We're really excited again, did a bit of furniture window shopping on the weekend as well which is just super fun.

    In other news, our adjusted mortgage balance (actual mortgage minus the house move savings pot) is now under £30k! It actually makes me quite excited not to take on a huuuuuge mortgage moving forward (i.e. one that's not much bigger than the one we started off with for our current flat) <3
