Looks like we're making an offer this time. Bloody terrifying. Awful timing, but what can you do? My brain is overflowing with paperwork Things. There will probably be an impressive meltdown at some near point.
gotta appreciate the cruel irony of how much life can happen in 1 week.
VERY!
Might be the best time for it to happen. Fingers crossed for you!
Thanks. Not if you mean in terms of extra money. That will take considerable time to sort out. He did something really daft in the Will.
Not the money, more that the balance of something bad/something good, and some positives at a shitty emotional time.
Best of luck! ๐ค๐ผ
Good luck! This is a massive amount of change in a short time, be gentle on yourself
Good luck, I hope all your plans go smoothly. ๐
Feel free to melt down, after the offer then there's the pantshit waiting for a response, possible back and forth bullshit then waiting final approval on loan....THEN you get the keys and then you properly start to shit yourself when you realise you owe a fuckton...but have a houuuuse
Takes about a year to settle down lol
Just got a bullshit email from the REA wanting to schedule an inspection just TWO months after I've moved in (because three months on the dot apparently would clash with her leave schedule, poor dear). Had to stand my ground and say the law states that it's got to be minimum 3 months.
My entire being is ready to not deal with this rubbish any more. The scales have definitely tipped towards working on ownership instead, and all the accompanying shit that goes with that
Yeah that was a feint to see how well you knew your rights. They need to start penalty pointing that shit like a drivers license
We've had to hand over less personal information for a mortgage than REA want for a rental these days, and it's not stored in some bullshit third party app with utterly flimflam security measures. Feels worth it just for that!
Sounds about right. Why can't I just look something up online, go me likey, and click a buy button?! ๐ซ
The buyers remorse would be hell though
Well yes! I'm very accustomed to things with this many zeros sitting on my work desk, but not picking or paying for them.
You have worked for it, you have EARNED it, do not let anyone deprive you of it.
