No luck, the lady who was selling the house had to have an eye operation and would not want to move out of the house until April. We heard from the estate agent she has accepted a LOWER price than what we offered so she can stay until April. ANd there we were willing to offer her MORE if she would move out sooner. Seems that some people have principles. Her own comfort was more important than money.
The estate agent from Kotiovi said she had another appartment in a similar building coming up for sale soon. It is much smaller at 63 square metres but the price is 135000€ I mentioned that if you compared the two houses with the square metre price then this new one she is offering seems to be rather expensive. Like the wise estate agent that she is she remarked not at all it is just that the other flat was underpriced. Well well if it was underpriced then why was our ofer the best offer and it was sold for LESS than was asked. There is no logic in that argument.
Anyway this new appartment apparently has better views and has a bigger sauna and is on the first floor. I just hope it is neat and tidy and that Maija likes it. So it is off to see another flat tonight at 18:30. I wonder if we should be looking further out and thinking about a drive into work. The secretary here says she drives in from Lohja every morning which is a 30 minute drive. I don't know if I could stand long drives each day.
The first lot of money from the UK has arrived in our Finnish bank Nordea and some money from EMBL has also arrived so hopefully before the end of the week the EOC money will also come in.
