I cant understand why this solicitors is assuming the role of surveyor and building society? How could she demand about cladding the beam? How does she know there is a beam? Is she by any chance related to the buyers do you know?

She demanded it as it was a part of the snagging list for building regulations sign off on the extension we had built 18 years ago.

i dont reckon its JAWS - i reckon its the buyers... JAWS wont have known there is a beam in the extension.. the buyers will have seen it and asked a question and she has found yet another time-delaying tactic, and bill-racking-up tactic to prolong her fee-earning......

Know what you mean but its really hard to tell.

Exchanged this morning. No champagne or celebrations though as have a huge shed which I've got to clear of garage type things. If anyone wants it they can have it! Very stressful and pressurised.

:beer: Congratulations Catbells :beer:

You've just swapped one form of stress for another - but at least this one is slightly rewarding and you can actually see it as progress is made.

Good luck with the packing and here's hoping the actual move runs smoothly...

WOW thanks for the well wishes everyone. Nice to read them after a 6am start writing letters to banks etc and ringing utilites etc. Looking forward to the dosh going into the bank too!!! I realise I have to be careful with it but am going to give my kids a surprise with some of it too!:)

My husband, who is a builder, installed the new windows in our roof extension which had planning permission granted & a completion certificate issued
We are now trying to sell the property & our buyer`s solicitors will not accept the fact that the windows are covered by the building control completion certificate so we do not need the Fensa certificate she is demanding,
My husband also installed the electrics & the building inspector agreed to get an electrician to inspect the electrics & these were passed but we did not get a certificate as this was passed internally & obviously validated by the completion certificate, but again this conveyancer will not accept this although the building inspector supplied a copy of the electrician`s report with a compliments slip from the concil attached. She is demanding a "certificate" which we do not have.
Is there anything I can download which will convince this conveyancer.
