We then waited for several months will the searches were done and while the S.A.F.E.R decided whether they were going to intervene or not (not in the end)
Then in December, on the weekend before Christmas, we went to complete the sale. This involved us and the seller going to the Notaire's (the solicitor's) office with the agent and signing a thousand documents. Before doing this we went to the house to check that everything was still in line with when we made the offer. We were a bit suprised to find that the seller hadn't finished moving out yet. Initially he was hoping to spend that night there but on realising we were going to stay there he decided to go and stay with his parents.
That night there was a massive storm with crazy wind and we thought our new purchase was going to collapse or at best have the new roof blown clean off before we had even owned it for 24 hours. Luckly both it and us survived intact although our nerves were a bit over wrought by morning.

It was a very useful few days but very exhausting and it felt rather like we were visiting Raymond on his farm rather than in our own future home.
