Hiccups In The House Chain

A pleasant weekend full of the usual activities plus a visit to Galton Road (hopefully our new house). The owners gave us the news that the house they were buying has been taken off the market. Disaster!
Although they gave us assurances that they were on the case looking for properties, the main thing we were thankful for was that they did not decide to break off the sale to us. That would have really screwed us. Apparently prices have moved on in the two months that we've been sold.
Later on in the afternoon we got a call to say they had put an offer in on a property they viewed earlier in the day. The offer was accepted and the upward chain is small and ready to go. So this is about the best news we could get following the previous collapse. Even though it means another six weeks wait, at least it should all complete this time. Hopefully before the end of the summer. Tried to call Ken and sell the concept to him but no answer. Try him again tonight.
