The Sale of Two Cities

The Valuation comes in on the nose, of exactly – to the penny – what our offer has been accepted at. However, woe is me when it comes to the best and building. According to the mortgage company we need at least AU$100,000k to proceed, and a full schedule of works, to rebuild the place. The chance of buying the old farm house is vanishingly small. I’ve called up a bunch of builders to give me quotes. It’s not the despair I can’t stand, in trying to buy this place – it’s the hope! Mind you, with this bank, I feel like I’m barking into the wind.
