Bah.

Apparently the woman who owns the house next to [livejournal.com profile] samharber's is demanding an exhorbitant price (twice what Sam and Nook, also in the same street, paid - and it's been on the market for a good while now) and will not budge. She is a fool. The fallout from this is that myself and Ms [livejournal.com profile] bacony will require somewhere to rest our heads come July. Anyone know any good letting agencies in Notlob? The plan is to move there and rent temporarily while I (a) build up capital and (b) find somewhere to buy... hard to arrange house viewings when you live the far side of Manchester.

In case anyone's interested, the crazy woman is asking £57K. I suspect I could get a mortgage for that on my salary - just about - but I think I'd want something a bit larger for that much. I know, housies are expensive these days, but it seems daft considering what other houses in that street went for.

It is still tempting though, if only somebody would sort out the administration... and give me a big pile of cash.

Andy darling, of course I will live with you in Bolton! Sam said we could store larp kit in his kit room if we bought him some shelves. Then the problem was over!

If it helps, I now work for a conveyancing firm, and have a handbook detailing the entire process that you are welcome to see. I can even get you a quote...

Just had a look in the filing cabinet and our Solicitors fees (including VAT, land search charges, land registry fees etc) came to £600.

That was me by the way not Arwel, LJ ignored the fact I'd put in my username.

Are you around this weekend? If so we could meet up and go through things so you know what's involved?

I have a band job at 7 on Saturday but other than that I'm free.

I didn't, I clicked the 'other livejournal user' radio button and put in my username and password. I blame LJ.
