Set back !

Hi all,

Unfortunately we have a set back to report. The selling contract of our house has been cancelled last week. Our buyers had sold their house with a condition that their buyers get a licence to start an eatery in their (our buyer´s) property. This licence has been given by the county, but between Christmas and New Year (the last week of the 6 week objection-period after publishing county decisions) exactly one (1) objection has been received by the county.

Although it is at this moment not certain that this objection will be approved or rejected by the county, our buyers still had to cancel the sell for now. They have told us that as soon as the objection has been rejected, they still would like to buy our house. They are aware that we can not wait for a permanent decision for an undefined period (that's what you get with county procedures ;-), and that we will be looking for other buyers in the mean time.

The result of all this (and that's for 99.9 % sure) is that we will not be able to leave for Australia in the first week of March, but that it will be somewhat longer. How much longer of course depends on how fast another buyer has been found, or how fast the county has decided to reject the objection.

That's all for now, we'll keep you all up to date about new developments!
