It is quite amazing the feats that we as people have managed to achieve. I mean, if I told anyone that I would be buying property on the moon in the next seven years, they probably would have encouraged me to get psychological help. But yet here I am, looking at property listings for places on the moon.

The addresses would be a bit confusing if not accompanied by the photos of the properties though. This is because for some reason the government decided to grab many of the names that are down on Earth and just duplicate them onto the moon. 

Since travelling to the moon takes a while and a decent amount of money, I felt it would be best to hire a conveyancer on the moon to help me finalise the buying process. I found a conveyancing firm based in Sandringham (the moon version) which was close to a property I wanted to purchase, so long as there were no issues.

After chatting with the firm, I felt they were a perfect fit for me and they sounded like they could take care of the legal end of buying my dream home, no matter the planet it was on. They checked out the property I was considering, helped me finalise my purchase, and just like that I owned a little chunk of the moon.

I was so glad that the firm had set up on the moon, as it would have been a lot harder to have the confidence to buy there without some good conveyancing. St Kilda was where I grew up down here on Earth, but I was confident I was going to make great memories up on the moon. Perhaps I would even meet the right guy or gal to settle down with and have a family. 

I had a bittersweet farewell party with my family and friends, loaded up the space truck with my items and boarded the rocket towards my new home. At least it shouldn’t be too long before I see Mum and Dad again, since they plan to retire on the moon too. For now, though, I’ll be on my own.
