lucky the solicitor had it in the post, the guy signed it and posted back by 10am, it arrived this morning! phew!
We complete tomorrow, i get to pick the keys up and start tearing down some cuboards. We have new carpet going down on money afternoon. I have friday and the weekend to paint the whole flat (only 3 rooms!) and sort out any niggles . Good job i love doing this work and got some family to help!
Cant belive what its taken to get this far though, all of the problems etc! and there was no chain!

Give them 7 days to clear it out or you will have to call in removers and they will be liable for the cost.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.
