Happiness really is exchange of contracts! At last the buyer of our flat in London has committed herself, contracts are exchanged and completion will be on October 22nd. We have no idea why she was prevaricating - at first we thought it was her solicitor being inefficient and uncommunicative but we realise that actually it was the vendor herself. One would have expected to exchange a long time ago on most properties where the sale was agreed in mid-May!
Anyway, at last we can now exchange on our purchase of this lovely house - I will certainly attack the ivy very soon, but I might even ask if we can start work on the roof as soon as we have exchanged, as the vendor is well aware of the pressing need to sort the roof before the winter. Whilst waiting these last few weeks, I have repeatedly done several jobs in my head, assessing how to do them and what could go wrong. It will be a joy to actually get my hands on it!
