Got the mortgage today. Also spoke to our solicitor at some length about the famous fence. An interesting angle is that, even if we accept an abatement from the seller (the reduction in the sale price) because of the fence being on our land, we will still own the land to our original boundary. So we could later still inist that our neighbour takes it down. But by then that would be between us and the neighbour, nothing to do with the sellers. We're still considering what to do, and will visit the barn tomorrow to help us decide.
Subject to that abatement, we're ready to complete the purchase. Don't think the sellers are though, so that will be another dispute.
Who said buying at auction avoids the hassle of property transactions!
