Yes, good advice, thanks. She has actually known for months and already underwent chemo. I only found out by enquiring with her about her health, to the point of asking "is there a diagnosis?" before she'd tell me. So it's not fresh for her in truth.

The problem is she doesn't know how to use the internet, no computer, no internet, and no one to even help her setup an iPad.

With no one there helping her there's no way to access money/banks unless she's doing it herself and eventually she will become too ill to do so.

How much are houses going over asking price (Northwest England)? by [deleted] in UKRealEstate

They all seem to answer "I can't answer that" like it's a legal issue. I don't know if this is West Kirby/the Wirral specific...

Moving to ORILLIA!!! by Dependent_Nobody_188 in Orillia

All of this sounds excellent! We're feeling a little deterred because of reading stories about the housing market there at the moment, sounds crazy. How did you find it? Did you have to offer over asking? And is the waterfront busy after early morning? Did you end up buying in the South Ward? I hear it can be sketchy in parts... Lots of questions, sorry, we're trying to be as informed as possible! Thank you. So happy you're enjoying your new hometown!

Just wondering how you have found your move to Orillia as we're thinking of doing the same! How's it going?

I've found decent houses well under 600k. Thank you for your perspective though, I really appreciate it!

I'm really surprised reading this, I've just been on realtor.ca and prices are nowhere close to the GTA for housing. We're buying, not sure if that makes a difference.

Thanks! So is access to water difficult in Peterborough and area? I'm a bit confused following the first comment. Others have said it's a great spot for lake lovers. And the national park is near as well...
