Yes, it’s still very early days in the process, but we’ve now had our offer for a two-bed apartment in Deanery Road (in the heart of the city centre – less than 100m from the cathedral and a two minute walk to the harbourside).
The diary of ‘events’ has been pretty incredible:
Friday 30 April: our house went on the market.
Thursday 6 May: we accepted an offer of £495K (the asking price) from a prospective buyer (he had £175K cash and needed a mortgage for the remainder; no chain).
Saturday 8 May: we viewed the Deanery Road apartment and put in offer later that afternoon for £365K (asking price £375K).
Monday 10 May: two other parties had put in offers for Deanery Road; we ended up increasing ours to the asking price (no chain involved).
Tuesday 11 May: our offer was duly accepted!
So, once again (with fingers firmly crossed – because we all know how easily these things fall down!), it seems that the Broadways have bought and sold their homes in ridiculously short time. I seem to recall us selling Percy Street within a matter of days (certainly less than a week); Windmill Road the same (the man who owned the High Street bakery bought it); Kings Road was sold quickly too… and we also managed to buy Mount Pleasant Terrace without fuss.
But, we’re left feeling as if we’re living in a world of uncertainty… plans all falling into place and yet which could collapse at any time. We’ll know more after the building survey on MPT on 27 May. Anxious times!
