Sheer madness has happened over the past couple of days with regard to the house and us moving..... I am never giving any details out ever again until we have the keys and are moved in.
We were suppose to be moving into the house in a little over a weeks time and it has fallen through.
Just before we left on Monday we got a letter that said that the house we were buying as built on top of a mine adit which was 100 feet under the house but there was a mine shaft to the side of it which had been covered with soil and that is only on the recent records..
The mines have been opened and closed several times over the past 200 years and only in the early 1900s did they start to map out where the tunnels of the mines were....
They fear that there is in fact a lobe or adit running from anything from 40 to 15 meters under the house.
And because of this report our solicitors have deemed it seriously dangerous to proceed with the purchase of the house.
So we are back out there looking for another house!
I am so sick of this house buying lark now..... this next house will in fact be the 8th one we have tried to buy.
We are no longer looking for old Cornish houses as the past 6 have been that type and have caused all these problems.
We have been to see the total of 30 odd houses since Wednesday and have put an offer on one of them.... but we are not sure it will be excepted as they had a lower offer and excepted that without us knowing Friday afternoon.... being an equity company though we think they may go for the full asking price as they want to get as much as they can for the property to gain back their money.... we shall just have to see.
So it means now that I am not sur if we willbe moved by the begining of November for us to have our puppy
I am hoping things will come together pretty soon but we were suppose to be moving on the 1st August so have had to put the moving date back with the buyers of our house to try and find somewhere quick smart
Has anyone else been through so much trouble with buying a house or is it just us? :blink:
