It's a gloomy Monday here in West Yorkshire, after a weekend of moderately heavy snowfalls, and days getting shorter and shorter for another month yet. I feel a great need for inspiration and today just feel tired and uninspired.
I've been sitting at home all day, reading and doing chores related to a house purchase. We're buying a small house in the far north of New Zealand, as a rental investment. Buying a house at 12,000 miles distance is a real challenge. There are so many people to contact, forms to fill, reports to commission and progress to monitor. It is a major project to manage, and keeping hold of everything that needs to be done is not easy.
Out of the original plan, we began the research work, early probing, and made a decision to make an offer. Now we're co-ordinating the surveys, rental appraisals, sorting of financial and legal issues, while keeping an eye on the required timescale. Having done it once before, it should be familiar, but it's easy to forget the tendency to chaos and "one more thing"-itis. We'll get there eventually, and be very happy, though exhausted by it all.
