Yesterday I made an offer for a unit in Mount Lawley, which was accepted a few hours later. Subject to finance I will be settling in less than 3 weeks. This means there will be a fair amount of overlap between moving out of Nedlands and into Mount Lawley, but I'm quite happy as it allows me plenty of time to arrange moving as well as sorting out electricity/phone/internet before I actually move house (I will probably actually move in early May).
It's still moderately daunting, spending almost $400,000 in a single hit. On the other hand it's really nice, and quite spacious for a unit (94sqm).
I'm hoping to pay the deposit tomorrow and get finance organised before Easter if possible (which may be a struggle). Settlement will be 14 days after finance approval - I'm doing settlement myself (with the help of some work friends) given my experience in such things (working for State Revenue does have some advantages).
