#45 New House

Tomorrow we move into a new house.

It's been about 5 months since we had our offer accepted and has been a bit of an up-and-down path, and been highly stressful!

All payments required for the sale of our property and the purchase of the new one (still in the same village) go via our solicitors in one neat payment, which is a smooth process.

I've just settled our bill - at just over £1,700 in cash paid.

All available cash is now in one bank account and it seems a clean and sensible time to take stock of what money we have and where it's going to go.

Next month we'll have updated mortgage, energy, water, council tax bills and so I'm suspecting we're going to have a pretty hard time off it until things settle down and we're able to build a bit of a buffer.

Our current buffer is £500.

I'm going to use a good portion of this to act as my float for 'Matched Betting' link and increase money via that. Although I'm hoping to be able to use that as investment money rather than anything else!
