Property
We have signed a bundle of contracts soooooo thick I thought we'd never be finished. All those signatures were witnessed by more independent witnesses than you could imagine. Telephone calls, emails, faxes and documents have been whizzing between credit unions, banks, conveyancors, solicitors, settlment facilitators, ourselves and the vendor.
Tomorrow apparently our bank accounts will be emptied as enormous sums of money are poured into especially set up trust accounts. The credit union will also be making over their contribution which I have to admit is significantly bigger than ours. Friday morning I get to do a final inspection of the house which is now vacant. If everything is as I expect it to be, (quite frankly I'm so keen to move I'll be satisfied with a roof and four walls, I'm not going to quibble over details) then at 2.30pm on Monday the I's will be dotted, the T's will be crossed by crack-teams-of-solictors, money will be shuffled from one trust account to the other and we will then get a telephone call advising us that we can now go and pick up the key.
The countdown begins.
