Exchange

We had exchange on Tuesday arvo (Thursday now), so we're locked in! Settlement will now be August 28th or before, we're hoping for about a week before so we can move the main stuff the weekend of 23/24 August and have a week overlapping in rent to get the carpets cleaned and tidy the place up etc.

We still have to fill in more forms, for the first home owners grant and some other solicitor stuff, but the ball is definitely rolling!

Approved!

So we have now been formally approved for our loan, woohoo! Just waiting on the bank/solicitor/mortgage broker to finish dealing with our thousands of forms we had to fill in, then we can exchange contracts hopefully early next week. Settlement should be about 4 weeks after that.

I am now officially collecting boxes!

First Post

Waiting to hear about finance, if all goes well I will be posting here about our new house, the move in, and all renovations.

Wish us luck!
