I've nearly bust my knicker elastic over the past few weeks after we accepted an offer on our house.............but its finally time to break out the champers cheers.gif

 

We were so close last Friday to completing we took the decision to go and trail a boat we had looked at back in July. Yesterday we gets a call from our solicitor to say our buyers deposit has cleared.........today we gets the call to ask if we are ready to exchange..............yes please we say.............15 minutes later we gets a call to say contracts are exchanged!!! Whoo Hoo!!

 

Offer made on boat - accepted.............and its out the water on Thursday for a pre-purchase survey..............if all goes well and we see no reason why it should not we will be living on this by the end of this month:

Well done! Just beware, there MIGHT be a long gap in between survey and ownership of the boat. We had a survey which revealed the boat needed work doing, and used it as a bargaining point. We got the majority of the work done by the seller, without any adjustment on the agreed price. Another piece of work needed doing before the boat was in our eyes safe for us to use (propellor wasn't connected to the propshaft correctly and cutlass bearing was worn) which required another dry docking and money before it was finally ours.

 

Good luck on the survey and hope it goes smoothly for you!
