“Congratulations on getting to the point where it stops being a building and starts being yours. That takes longer than the estate agent implies. It looks wonderful already.”
“I have heard about every near-miss, every survey that came back badly, and the one you lost by a day and were quietly devastated about. This is better than that one was. Congratulations, finally. I look forward to seeing it, sitting in it, and hearing the entire story again from the beginning.”
“It has been a strange and difficult stretch and this is the first part of it that is entirely yours to arrange, down to which room the sofa goes in.
