Ok so now it is done. The house is officially up for sale. The estate agents came round this morning, we signed and filled in paperwork, they took measurements and photos. Within a couple of hours, after we had approved the wording and photos, the property was listed for sale and on the Internet.
Yesterday however, we had already received our first viewing appointment, this Tuesday at 6.30. That put the wind up me being so quick, it all became quite real after months of planning.
It is totally different to the last time we moved house in 1998. Then I was in a hurry, we were on an estate, Craig was 2 and I wanted to get away from the noise and the problems we had there
Our shed had been set alight just beforehand and the neighbours were a right mixture, mostly fixing up cars out the front or playing loud music and making lots of noise. I remember having a go at the estate agent after only a week because we had had no viewings. In the end we sold it within the month and completed the move a couple of months after that.
This time, however, we need to drag it out as near to July as we can. Craig has his exams to do and we need Helen to work to the end of the summer term, so we get her pay through the summer holiday. So the quicker we sell the more time we will be with mum and dad, which I am sure neither party wants to be too long.
Have now finished packing all the stuff which was in the loft, along with other things which are non essential the box count stands at 39 and 3 rolls of parcel tape.
Now it all begins.
