We are officially here in Germany for the long haul. [View all]

Signed the sales contract, signed the loan papers for a flat. Now we wait for the Land registry to do their thing.
Ten year fixed at 3.3% and we can put up to 20K towards principle every year. What a procedure.

Now we get to deal with the move process and the new kitchen installation by the end of September.
