A survey is something paid for buy the buyer which ensures that the house is sound, stable, won't need any major works soon, etc. Mostly important in houses like mine which are 150+ years old. The Boundaries and deeds stuff is called a "search" and is done by your lawyer.
Brit survey = U.S. inspection; Brit search = U.S. title search
Is this the very same Manor House that Jim was talking about last year?
If so, it's on PBS this week!
Yes! Edgar, the head butler, is a wonderful character. It's Must See TV.
Great!!! Will be taping it then.
I'd noticed that in the TV listings, but forgotten about it. Thanks for the reminder. I'll definitely be watching. (Um, in between the studying. But I can kind of claim it as educational.)
Yes, in the UK and Australia it was called the Edwardian Country House. It's absolutely brilliant. I expect several Buffistas to be writing Edwardian Country House slash in a very short while.
Heh. PBS purchased a promo to run on all TiVos (not mandatory to view, but easy to click into if you're interested).
Did not watch the TIVo promo, but do have it set up to record the thing. Are there only three episodes? Or are they just showing those three in a row, and showing more later?
From memory I think there are about six or eight episodes, something like that.
I looks like three two hour episodes here.
