eeep! and a question

[woolymonkey]

We've accepted an offer on the Monkey House! So the plan is to be out of here and into Monkey Mansion by Easter if we can do it that fast - which everyone seems to want - or after Spider's GCSEs if we miss Easter. Of course there's still a lot that can go wrong but it's amazing how fast things have happened now that they're happening at all.

Will post about Monkey Mansion when/if I believe it's really happening.

In the meantime, we need a good solicitor and surveyor. They need to be fast (for Easter) and thorough because there's a LOT of complicated development due to happen on two sides of Monkey Mansion, and it's a complicated house anyway. If you know anyone good in Cambridge area, please let me know. Thanks.

Yay! That's wonderful.
I will ask P who we used, though it was a while ago -- they were good, and the firm is still there.

Thank you. I think we've sorted out the solicitor now but we could still use a rec for a surveyor. Thanks for the wine too. It's really good - hope you brought back lots for yourselves too.

Yay! We used Miller Sands, certainly thorough, and fast enough.

Musique_monkey called them and we're neighbours with their conveyancing guy. Depending on which of two flats he lives in there's a 50% chance that he's the one who stole our blue bin!

I've checked the flat numbers and he's not the bin thief :) He's the nice guy who provides empty boxes for art projects.

Superb! I've been here for 14 years, and I sadly can't remember who did my survey.

We've never managed 14 years at one address. Maybe this'll be the one where we do...
