I really am crap at keeping secrets. This makes, what, six days? And that’s a total personal record. Anyway: we’re buying a house.

Seriously.

Well, it’s not 100% sure yet, but we’ve cleared the first few hurdles. We just had the building and pest inspection tonight and all is well. The Snook’s parents are coming down this weekend to have a look. We’ve got a solicitor who has started the strata report and various conveyancing things. If all goes well, we’ll be settled and moved in by Halloween.

Oh, where is it? Not telling. It’s not on the market yet, and we don’t want you to gazump us. But trust me, the story of the finding of this place is pretty unbelievable. More to come in the future…

    I don’t get all the gazumping stuff – here in little ole NZ you sign a contract – usually conditional only on finance, and usually only giving you a week to confirm your finance, the only way out is by mutual agreement.

    Good luck Kris and Snook! Now you just have to get knitting a “Home Sweet Home” picture thing to hang on one of the walls ๐Ÿ™‚
