Spoke to the EA on Friday and despite my offer being accepted on the 20th July, the sellers haven't served notice on the people living there yet. I was hoping to be in this month :(
Have agreed a 5k discount on the back of my survey but maybe should have waited because they are being so slow, and was still waiting for enquires back (as I am now on most of them). I'm paying way than my mortgage will be in rent currently and it'll the depths of winter by the time I can exchange.
On the sash window chat, the flat has original single glazed sash windows which are in a sorry state. Weighing up light refurb vs more involved refurb vs replacement and what will be the best use of money/get the best return when I next move in 5+ years. Good to hear what people have done. I like the idea of keeping the original ones.
