tomorrow i will be summoned to complete my part in buying a house. the man who is selling the house i am buying is in london, and i signed the contract about 1 week ago, and it was then flown to england (only originals are valid, and not faxes or scanned images). i was terrified because the house remained on the market before his signature was inscribed on that document, and i worried that someone else may make a much better offer than mine in the mean time.
the real estate agent assured me that the document would be in sydney tomorrow (monday), and that all i had to do was sign one part of it which completes the deal.
once that happens, the vendor can not change his mind.
i had 2 houses before that were taken away from me. one because of my sister and the other because of the council.
my house in pymble was deemed not mine because i could not prove that i paid for it (my sister was very thorough in getting that house to be deemed part of my fathers estate). my parents went guarantor for me when i bought it, and i had a good job, and i gave my mother the money every month to pay for it, and i eventually owned it, but i had no official documentation because my parents did not know my sister was such a ruthless b***h before they died, and i did not demand any legal paperwork from them because i trusted my parents.
i had to leave there because my nephew was a psychopath who broke in all the time and woke me up with a knife to my throat demanding i give him money.
so i bought another house (i still was being paid very well all the while), and the local council eventually reclaimed it because they said they needed it for road passage, and i had no say and they paid me pittance for it. i then found a place to rent (here) and i have been looking for another permanent house ever since, and i have found a house that i know will never be resumed by any council, and i am happy that i will be moving there in 35 days.
my sister made sure i got nothing from my fathers estate which included the house i bought at pymble.
i was adopted, and there were other reasons (like i was a disappointment because i was psychologically inadequate) which i may challenge when i have the money to do so.
whatever. i am so glad i will never have to pay rent again.
