Update

There is really nothing to update here - I am still waiting for all the parties to play together and communicate and see what happens from there. Last I heard the vendors have selected their solicitors so hopefully everyone can get themselves organised.

I have been doing lots of thinking and planning about what could go where and when in regards to rooms and designing the studio. I rang the Croydon council on Thursday and they said that for any extension what so ever, I need to get planning permission because it is a flat. I don't have to, however, have permission for adding a door to the backgarden because it will be replacing a window. That's good food for thought.

That's all.

Mortgage Madness - E-mail Enlightens

After receiving an email from the assistant of the mortgage broker informing me of a delay in processing the loan applications, i was more than pleasantly surprised when Tony, Mr. Mortgage Broker 2007, wrote to me to inform me that I was now the proud owner of a mortgage. I am but very happy and overjoyed.

Jordi,

I am pleased to confirm that your mortgage offer was issued today.
I have attached a copy for your information - you will receive an
original copy in the post.
A copy will also be forwarded to your solicitor.
Please let me know if you have any questions or need anything further.

Regards,

Tony

It's still a waiting game as we all have to wait for the vendors to settle on their new place in order for me to then move in and do the little updates that I am wanting to do in the first instance. It's all good fun, this waiting game ... I just be patient and wait to see what happens ... the longer it takes, the money, I hope I will have to to more of the 'updates' that I want to do.

Too much gorgeousness and not enough moula

Alrighty, so the plan is for this to be attached to the back of the flat - all depending on the planning permission. It will require the knocking through the wall to place a door from the kitchen into this new space. I just have to work out the laws concerning the emission of steam and so forth from the bathroom as this will be tagged onto the back. It's a little exciting ... just thought that I would share. I have ordered the brochure so will then see if I can afford this little building project after checking with the council as to whether I am able to build it or not ... off to google-earth to see if anyone else in the street has extended their property. Toodles.
