Just bought a house!!!!!
Hi all
Well we have just come back from our short week's break in Barrie, whilst driving around looking at different houses, we saw one that was being sold by a guy we met last year. Arranged to view house, saw it, put offer in, offer accepted
mortgage vertually sorted and hey presto!!!!!!!
How quick??
Come back England and our house sale is moving faster (thank god) so looks like we could still be on for moving on the 12th January.

If I may ask, who's your mortgage through, and how would you rate them?
I hope you have many happy years there!

Re: Just bought a house!!!!!
Congratulations!! I couldn't believe how stress-free the house buying process was in Canada compared to the UK! We did the same as you and put an offer in on a house on our last research trip prior to moving over this week. The offer was made and accepted in 24 hours and the survey done the day we left for the UK. We are now safely installed, although still surrounded by boxes!
Good luck with the move

Glad things are working out well for you, I can't wait to move as I love all the 'Carol Smiley' changing rooms stuff!! I keep looking at the photographs and planning what I could do with each room- I've spent a fortune on it all ready and I'm not in it yet lol
Have a great christmas in England and happy moving

A deposit of 25% was recommended by our broker.
Wasaga Beach is lovely and not too far from where we're moving to.
Good luck

We went Wasage beach in June was lovely there!
We are in early stages of buying house here in Alberta!! seems alot easier over here and couldnt believe we gave our move in date the day we put offer in!! So much different to UK! If all goes well should move in on jan 15th!! Took 3 months for house sale to complete in UK and was stress all the way.
