Katy and I have put an offer on a house in Saffron Walden. It’s been accepted. Scary. We’re now waiting on confirmation for our mortgage. We went through a mortgage broker, who recommended Chelthnam & Gloucester. It’s not the best deal in the world, but considering that we only have a 10% deposit and that I’m a Canadian on a visa that is not usually encountered, it’s the best deal that we can get. Even then, it’s in the hands of the mortgage under-writers at the moment who will decide if I’m trustworthy enough to get the preciousssss money.<\/p>\n

We’re biting our nails off at the moment, waiting for an email that will say yay or nay. The last time I spoke with the broker, he said that things sounded positive and that this was just a formality. Touch wood, this will prove true. I’ve forwarded him all the emails I’ve had with the immigration lawyer I’ve hired to process my British citizenship app. This is, apparently, a strong point in my favour. Still, with the banks being as antsy as they are at the moment, I won’t be relieved until I have ink on paper.<\/p>\n

Watch this space.<\/p>\n
