A quick update on the house.
Settlement is scheduled for this Friday. The mortgage documents have been signed (with trembling hands) and returned, so that's out of our court for the time being.
On Wed, we'll do the final inspection with the real estate agent. The purpose of the inspection is to make sure the house is in the same condition as when we first saw it. Otherwise, the vendor has to rectify matters for the settlement to proceed.
Statutory notice of our intention to vacate our rental premises has been given to the property manager. (We love how the system works here. Everything's done at arm's length through the property manager, so there's no need for landlord and tenant to "talk" to each other. )
Before we move out, we're required to arrange for the place to be professionally cleaned (esp. the carpets). We only get back our rental bond if the landlord is satisfied with the condition of the place.
The packing process has begun.
Despite most of our things being in boxes in the garage, there's still an astonishing amount of stuff in and around the house. We're doing it room by room, and getting Beth to take responsibility for her own stuff (she has a ton of bits and bobs in boxes, because she's such a hoarder).
We'll miss this place we've called home for the past 12 months, especially Melissa and the girls across the road.
