Right after posting about our new flat, and exhaling after a rather stressful flat search, we were notified that the landlord had given our flat to someone who could occupy sooner than 2 July. Apparently, paying a deposit and receiving confirmation via phone doesn’t translate into confirmed accommodations.
Although our deposit was refunded rather quickly, we still felt pretty defeated after receiving the news. As is our way, we allowed ourselves a day to wallow but awoke the next with renewed determination. Happily, after only a short period of doubt, we have found another, better flat.
Rather than the smallest flat we’ve ever lived in, this one will be closer in size to the one we have here in Dundee (less a bedroom). Located in Bermondsey (south London), we’ll be on the ground floor, have a private garden and be closer to the neighbourhood we had originally coveted (Southwark). Overall, we’re pleased with how things have worked out and are confident we’ve emerged from this debacle as victors.

Glad things worked out okay.
