Early developments

I called into the real estate office to see the documentation on the property. It seemed that the previous owners were considering building an extension to the house, as there were plans for an addition off to one side of the building. I gather they wanted to leave space in the back for a pool. The back yard would certainly have plenty of room for it.

I asked the real estate agent who she considered would be a good conveyancer. She provided a list of conveyancers, short listing a few, and of them all recommended William Heague.

The settlement dates didn’t match perfectly, with our Warrandyte property falling on 16th June and the Canberra house on the 19th June. Something might be able to be done there. They are very close. I can’t determine as yet as to whether we can shift the Warrandyte settlement date to the 19th June. We were both of the view to give the buyer of our house as little regard as she is us. She has not paid the deposit. With such disregard for protocol perhaps we might just stay in the place until we’re ready to quit.

Despite our real estate agent's attempts to contact Melody to see how things are progressing with the deposit, there has been no word. Both S and I have feelings of excitement and concern: looking forward to moving into our new house, and worry that it may not happen if our buyer does not come through with the money.

I keep reassuring myself that she signed contract, is locked it, and there’s nothing to worry about. The solicitor isn’t sure if the bond certificate will be appropriate, and asked me to check it with the bank.
