If it's not successful you'll still be in a beautifully renovated house that you have done (and so know is done right) so best case win and worst case different win (without another SDLT bill).
Good luck.
Good luck.
Your current house looks awesome, so worst case, you get to live in it and enjoy your work for a few years 
Best of luck with the offer though!
t, our offer has been accepted.
well done chap!

When Lady F was pregnant the last time her first 3 months were hard, so I need to get a shift on if this all goes ahead. Anyone recommend a decent builder in London for kitchens and bathrooms? My last guy was lovely, but horribly disorganised - which this project cannot be.

Providing you don't allow her to overly worry or stress having her focus a bit on the project rather than getting knocked up I suspect she'll fall pregnant when least expecting it so as to speak. When pregnant just manage things so it's not too hard on her.
Maybe approach the last guy again - you can afford to be blunt as you can still go elsewhere if you need to. Say you'd like to use him but cannot afford for him to be disorganised this time maybe explain about LadyF. If he will accept penalty clauses if not done to your schedule you could both get what you want. He gets the kick up the arse he needs to concentrate on your job which he will make money on providing he doesn't slip. You get nice guy who is more organised and if he slips up you get it a bit cheaper with the option to take your money elsewhere.
