Evicted ...to a new home...





12th April, a new beginning.

We received a letter from the housing agent that the Landlord would be taking the property back and we had to vacate the property. We sighed. Things were about to change just when we thought we were settling down into London! In the next couple of days, we were on the internet looking for a new roof over our head. I must say God directed my fingers to one particular agent's website and found a flat just up the road from us! Hurriedly, made an appointment to see it first thing Sat morning. Apparently, there was another couple looking at it just 15mins before us. That got us worried because we did not want to be in competition with another party for a street we were happy to live at! When we turned up on Sat, the agent told us that the other couple could not make it in the end! Yippee. So we placed deposit on the place on the same day after the landlord okay-ed us as tenants. It worked out well because, the owner was looking for a longer term tenant and we were looking for a stable place to rent at! This time, we have a fixed term contract for 12 months, hopefully, to let us catch our breadth and not needing to move again so soon.

After 6 months at Flat 3, 29 xxxx road, we are moving to Flat 3, 41 xxxx road! Just round the corner... this time on higher ground and with views from our living room!We are currently looking for furniture (the other place was fully furnished), packing and unpacking, cleaning both flats and hoping to call it a day!
