We had the pest and building inspector this morning and this afternoon we had a valuation done on our house too. These have been organised by the people who are purchasing our property and their solicitor exchanging contracts with us will most likely depend on the results, or at least they won't go through to settlement if there is anything that they don't like the looks of.
It would be interesting to see what they say and we may get a chance to look at them as things progress, I'm most interested in the valuation as it will let us know what the banks think our house is worth and if we will be receiving a fair price for the house.
Everything is moving along nicely but I think it is already getting to my wife, she likes to be super organised well ahead of time, where I'm not getting too excited until we've at least exchanged contracts and have booked in an actual date for settlement to occur.
In my mind, if we're not sure of the settlement date, then there's no point talking to removalists or the utility companies as they will want to know what date we're moving in so they can book everything in at their end. I've asked my wife to tell me what I can do to help, but so far she's not tasked me with anything. I still have some painting and what not to do around the house, so I'm going to busy myself with that over the weekend and hopefully next week we'll have the settlement date so I'll start organising the utilities and internet connection. I'll also book in for Foxtel to come and collect their equipment as we've decided that we're not going to get the same kind of pay TV at the new place. We already have 3 Fetch boxes and I'm going to sign up to get some channels through them, we can then watch them on all three boxes for the one fee. Currently we only have one Foxtel box and I only watch two or three shows on it a week. The Fetch TV has the Discovery Channel and National Geographic channel which are the two that I browse the most when there is nothing else on Foxtel anyway and they have a good selection of children's channels. I can get those two packs for $12 a month where currently we pay something like $90 a month for Foxtel. The only thing my wife will really miss out on is the last season of Game of Thrones, I'm sure she'll survive when she thinks of the savings we'll have from cancelling Foxtel.
