The exchange is now due for Wednesday, but
once we were assured that the solicitors had everything they needed and nothing
more was sent to the UK house, we arranged to go home, we will be leaving on
Wednesday, but before we go we stop off at the house with a nice bottle of
champagne for the new owners and a list of everything they will need to know.
We also drop of some cider and rose wine
for the neighbours so they could try the Breton version.
On the Wednesday we drive home and stop at a
service station every so often to see if the e-mail has come through saying the
exchange has taken place, the day gets more and more stressful as we start to
believe that it will not happen again and tomorrow we will not be able to
e-mail our consent as we will not have any internet.
We decided to travel home via the Dover –
Calais route as the Plymouth – Roscoff was just so expensive. So it is 2 days
of driving but we do get to spend the evening in Boulogne sur Mer, we have
stayed here before and the restaurants are really lovely (we didn’t really
sight see this time but if you want to have a look around here is the link to
our last visit).
As we are sat at Dover port the phone
rings, it is the estate agent, they are ringing to let us know that the
exchange has finally gone through. The feeling of relief is enormous.
This is it.
The house is really being sold.
