As the close date on the house draws near, the financial impact on my bank balance is causing my anxiety level to increase. Now I have the funds in hand to pay deposit, stamp duty, legal fees, bank fees and even purchase a few new appliances. However, once those monies are withdrawn, the amount of liquid assets available will be somewhat limited. I won’t starve or anything but the next few months are going to be really tight while I work on rebuilding my emergency fund. Heck, I might even have to start bringing my lunch to work. Goodness! This is so not going to be fun. Oh well — All in the name of getting on the crazy London property ladder!
