I think we are both hoping for completion in the first half of December, basically as soon as her flat is ready. She did sound a bit wistful talking about going from a big house to a small flat (especially as she's been there 64 years and it was her married home and where she raised a family), but she still seems very set on the idea and it's probably good timing while she's still fit. She must be somewhere in the 85 - 90 range (probably at the upper end of that, if not slightly over) and still doing very well, but although she managed the stairs inside easily, she left me to go up the rather wonky garden steps on my own.

I do think that part of inviting me over today was to have a sense of handing the house over rather than just the practical aspects of working out what to do with furniture she can't take with her. She had remembered everything we talked about when I viewed, particularly how keen I was on the garden so has made sure to leave all the garden things (apart from two garden chairs that her daughter is going to have). Just a lovely, lovely lady.

I need to chase up my solicitors to work out what enquiries are outstanding and then hopefully we can crack on with exchange. Possible completion dates being touted are between 2 - 10th December, but that's just from the estate agent so it's meaningless until my solicitor weighs in!
Formerly self-contained, but expanding my gardening horizons beyond pots!
