Rejected

Our offer of 135000€ was rejected, but the flat has not been sold so it looks like nobody else wants it. They did not say why they did not accept our offer, and the estate agent asked if we wanted to keep it open until the end of the week. We were advised to say no, since if we did we could not make an offer on any other property, for fear of incurring the 4% fine if they suddenly said yes and we had made an offer on something else. You have to be careful.

We have arranged to go and see 4 more appartments today between 4-6. A couple of them are in Espoo and the other two are in Vantaa. We will wait until Wednesday before we approach the "hole in the wall" people once again.

Yesterday I went to IKEA and got a catalogue to see how much things are costing here in Finland. Kitchen appliances were quite expensive, especially microwave ovens. Some of the ceremic hobs were not to bad, and the water taps were good value compared with what you can get in the UK
