That's lovely! Best of luck.

(I'm thinking about some lairy wallpaper in my new downstairs loo.)

Wow that is stunning, good luck Emma!

Tsu, I love my lairy downstairs loo wallpaper, it’s my favourite thing. I vote do it. If it was someone else’s choice though I’m not sure I’d be so keen.

If you can't be lairy in your downstairs loo, where can you be? :))

Great news Nine.

I've backed away from the property I viewed over the weekend. The loft conversion would never get used and there are at least 3 interested parties so we're going with our original choice.

If I had a small cloakroom type bathroom I'd kit it out like this.

That’s brilliant news nine.

Duo that wallpaper is gorgeous :love2:. My wallpaper is Cole & Son too, I really love their designs. It sounds like you’ve made a sensible decision about the house and there’s no harm in checking out options at this stage.

We are still waiting, apparently the hold up is our sellers solicitor, who hasn't confirmed something with our solicitor. Which is infuriating because our vendors were the ones who set the original date of the 29th of July. HUGH SIGH.

Oh no Cos. You must be beyond frustrated.

Our vendors have suggested 15 Sept to exchange :emme:

Our buyers are super keen too and are doing the surveys while we’re away :fc: I’ve spent the entire first afternoon of our holiday on the phone and emailing solicitors. Relaxing :lol:

Keen buyers and vendors sounds good to me, emma! You've had to wait a long while for this.

I am so irritated. They're the ones who wanted to move today. I've asked the ea to hurry them up as well.

Oh and 15 Sept would be amazing Emma, effort to get there but so cool to have it over and done with quickly.

Great news, emma_p! I must confess to a double-take at the exterior photo as it looks so like the house I lived in as a child in London - we didn't have the steps but the rest of it is so alike. I loved that house and I'm sure you'll love yours just as much.

(Blimey, I just googled the sale prices for where we used to live. :faint: )
