We're in a bit of a fix now, with a road bump ahead in getting our keys for the new place. The sellers require an extension, which was not made known to us previously. Their agent only brought it up to us slightly before our first HDB appointment. By then, we had already settled the official sale of our place. We had already done an extension to the handing over of our keys to our buyer. On our side, we played our cards well, especially since Zul did the time planning for us.

It looks like we might have to look around for temporary accommodation after we officially hand over our keys till the reno completion of our purchased unit. And it's not easy finding one for probably about 2 months. So, even if the sellers are willing to pay for our short-term accommodation and storage, it's really the availability that's the problem now.

While the seller has told the hubs that they will try their best in search of temporary housing for themselves, we hope they really do. As much as they have 2 school-going children, we too have a toddler. 

Now I understand the importance of having a proper agent to advise you. Theirs was crap and who lied to us that their block underwent a 'House Improvement Project' which was not the case at all and now we have to change the ugly cast iron pipes. Thankfully, they can be changed and another contractor that the hubs arranged to view the unit is able to get it done.

We officially hand over our house keys in April and I guess till then, I will post random pictures of the neighbourhood I love so much. But I'm sure the hubs, K and I will have no problem adjusting to the new location. The landscape at the Lake District has changed so much that other than the distance to work, it will be so much to look forward to.
