  • Hello and welcome to the English We Speak.

  • I'm Neil and joining me in the studio today is Helen.

  • Hello, everyone.

  • It's nice to relax a bit.

  • It's been a crazy few weeks.

  • We had just four weeks to buy our new home.

  • Oh, no.

  • Four weeks.

  • That's not really much time.

  • I know.

  • Luckily the lawyers were very helpful.

  • We got the mortgage in time and we completed the purchase last weekend.

  • Ah, so you finally got your own place.

  • Yes, the money has exchanged hands and we got our keys yesterday.

  • Brilliant.

  • So it's all done and dusted then?

  • No, we haven't had the chance to inspect the house yet.
