PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

Could you please let me know how long, by law, building companies are allowed to keep you waiting to complete on a new build?
We exchanged on 28 October 2009 and are still waiting to complete. They keep delaying our NHBC check and we really want to be in there before christmas!
Thanks

As long as they want unless your solicitor agreed a backstop date in the contract. Good reason for not buying a new build.RICHARD WEBSTER
As a retired conveyancing solicitor I believe the information given in the post to be useful assuming any properties concerned are in England/Wales but I accept no liability for it.0 -
Check with your solicitor - they should have advised you of this problem!0
