Signed off on a quote and our fencing guy sent us our half of the cost via an invoice. It was all really easy. But we know our neighbours so it probably made our lives easier. Our bank has done their walkthrough with the valuer. They are ready to pay. Just need to send through our insurance stuff and then they will transfer the money across.

You could get a quote by emailing them a final site plan or have them go out to your site. I'd be also asking them if they are aware of your estate guidelines. Most of the local ones will be though. Once they have done that, get a written quote and send it off to your neighbour unless you want another one to compare with as well.

Might be Friday. Otherwise we will go on Tuesday to pick up keys. Our client liason has already contacted us to book in appliances for next week. Which is great, worried we'd move in with nothing. The gas and water is already in our name, as we've paid bills. Does the electricity one just get transferred to us?
