After filling in a ton of forms for Kainga Ora over the weekend, sending them more forms on Monday, and half a dozen more today, I just received confirmation that Alex & I have both been approved to receive the First Home Grant, of $5k each, so that's really excellent, especially since I was on the Second Chance grant (having briefly owned a house in the 1990's). Super exciting!
Tomorrow I drive to Dannevirke to coordinate the builder's report, and meet up with Harry, Dad, and my bother-in-law Chris.
I'll also meet up with the lawyer, and drop off some originals of documents to her.
After tomorrow it should be clear whether we want the property or not, depending on the builder's opinion of the state of the weatherboards.
