If all goes to plan, it seems that we will be buying 1 Lovaine Terrace in mid-August to allow them time to find a house to buy or to rent. They are prepared to exchange contracts quite soon with a fixed date for completion. This is quite a result since we only went to see the house less than a week ago and there are no other suitable houses currently available. There are numerous projects that we would like to do but the house is perfectly OK in the meantime and only a short walk from the beach. The identity checks and proof of funding have been a little tiresome but that is how things are now and a news item this morning reported the growing prevalence of identity theft. Property is a major channel for money laundering. Link below to Rightmove listing.

This does mean that we are likely to be in Prades during July and August, months of intense heat that we usually avoid but it will be nice to be back in our French home again after the usual partially unsatisfactory experiences in someone else's holiday home over the last 10 days. Why no vacuum, sharp knives or adequate kitchen extract? But the seal in the harbour was far more beguiling than I would have imagined.
