I’m waiting for my mortgage broker bloke to get back to me on whether we can get a mortgage for a flat in a nice, but unfortunately “high rise” block. It is a very nice block that is managed by a tenants association rather than the council, but mortgage lenders can get “funny” about such things so I don’t want to make an offer unless I know for sure I can back it up!

I left messages on his voicemail on saturday and this morning, and still nothing. He’s not really earning his fee at the momemnt! Hmph…

Still on the good side we have an accepted offer on another place that is nearly as nice, just on the ground floor, which I was hoping to avoid. Ah well. The perils of being a first time buyer in a seller’s market (those bloody sellers, grrr! *shakes fist*)
