I haven’t updated the house saga for a while but its been ticking along in the background. There have been the usual series of alarm and excursions – one misunderstanding about whether planning permission was needed for the basement (happily it wasn’t, as there isn’t any!) and some excitement about indemnities and covenants.

However the searches are in and didn’t reveal anything too scary and now people are asking us to pay for things it looks as if things may be moving … and perhaps so will we :)
