That's amazing news. On the non-renting feeling of security, it's amazing. Buying furniture to fit a room rather than with an eye to whether it would be practical if you had to move in three months is great too.
Tossbag.
Ramsaye-
This. Though as I discovered today it's best you measure before you buy. I had to build a tower outside after the sofa bed I assumed would be flatpack came basically assembled in a long mushroom shape that wouldn't fit through any doors. Open the large window upstairs and using a pulley/two stepladders lots of effort and very little brain I managed to slide the fucker through. When we sell the new owner is keeping it.
CYOA
So it's taken the best part of three months and the guy has pulled out three times but I finally have a date and we are going to exchange contracts on the 8th of this month. This is shit-your-pants scary and awesome all at the same time.
After 20 years of renting in London I'm finally going to live in a place that no landlord can just turf me out of with a month's notice. I can't even imagine what that's going to feel like.
