Reason 2603 that Oz is better

Now I don't wish to appear biased but well I am!

We have sold our little flat and are now the proud owners of a "wee house" in the "wee village" of Eaglesham. Now to say the sale of our old place was traumatic would be an understatement and the reason for the title of this post. In Oz if you buy a house you put down a 10% deposit and if the sale falls through you've lost it. Not in sunny Scotland not only don't you have to put a deposit down but if the person fails to come up with the funds by law you have to give them 2 weeks more to come up with the funds before you can put your property back on the market !!!!

To cut a long long story short we settled (we found out 4pm on the day of the sale that it was going through) and are now in our new house photos are to follow once internet connection is back up.
