The race to be in for Christmas!

thanks silvercar.

Yes, I had a massive hassle when buying I tihnk this is the foible of SO.

However, I am going to speak with my sol in the morning and find out exactly what it is that he wants, and what its for.

Im not best pleased with my sol as previously he requested the planning permission docs :rolleyes: and for saome reason we paid for it. I was like, urely thats a search, he should pay for it and my sol said no we pay it to keep things together. I wasnt amused. Especially as I have nil income at the mo and am literally below the breadline. this is money that I simply do not have.

Once I get a flavour of what he wants, if its reasonable, Ill ask for it, if its not, Im pulling out. I simply cannot be bothered with him any longer.

Unfortunately we won't bw in for Christmas, as described here.

I just hope the seller has been able to move on as they had hoped.

I got the call from my solicitors this morning to say that the purchase has completed, and the seller's solicitor has confirmed that the money has been transferred (exchange was yesterday). I'm about to leave to pick up my keys.
:j I'm so excited - thanks for the advice Silvercar! :j

Congratulations 50percent. whoo even at this 11th hour someone is getting a new home.

No new at my end again, its gone quiet still waiting to hear from solicitor, he wanted us to exchange this year, still issue of the beetle infestation in loft negotiate when it was picked up on the survey.

I would have loved a date to complete before Christmas, I cant honestly think anything will happen now for at least 3 if we want to move by then, probably another 4.

Hi All long time no see how are you all - MERRY XMAS we have 3 days to go and i am so so excited bought our turkey she is chillin in the fridge but im sure she wont be on there for much longer :rotfl:

Firstly i wanna congratulate everyone who have made it in before xmas C-O-N-G-R-A-T-U-L-A-T-I-O-N-S - WISHING you all the best in your new homes and hope it will bring you many years of happiness...:T :beer: :j

For those who are still waiting like us :mad: Hopefully January will bring us some luck and news - good luck :A

Today was a complete nite mare for us - i mean total crazyness - seller threatened to pull out as he was getting wrong information from his solictors and wires being crosed here there and everywhere so we spoke directly to him ourselves and it all made sense so we are finally back on track as this wasted nearly 2 hours we were so close to exchaging at 3 this noon, but was a little to late as solictors closed early soooooooooooo to cut a long story short we have all decided to exchange first thing on the 2nd jan and complete between 8th - 12th jan..

so now we are looking forward to xmas and deal with the whole house move in jan when solitors open...

I hope 2007 brings us all some luck..

Good luck and merry xmas hope you all have a good one :A

We moved up north (from Essex) three years ago, but hated it, so decided to move back. Hubby got a new job which began in october so when we went house hunting (late August) we were on the look out for a quick move. Found this oine house, and the woman who was selling it promised us she was chain free, and that she would move in with her partner so that we could move in to the house, but guess what? she lied. We were all ready to exchange and complete on 31 October, but she refused, it later materialised that not only was she in a chain, (2 more ahead of her) but her "partner" was also tying in his own sale!!!!

I was so angry, it meant that my hubby would have to go into rented as his new job was just about to start, to cut along story short, in the end I withdrew our offer, the lying woman had lied to us and kept us at her beck and call for too long.

We ended up putting an offer in on a bigger, better house in a much nicer area, and most importantly, was empty and being sold without a chain!

Now we are waiting to exchange and complete, at the moment we are living in Essex (where we want to be) and staying with my Mum, hope to move in Jan 2007.

The only piece of advice I can offer is, never take the sellers word for anything!

We've got all our searches back this morning! Though everything has closed now so nothing is going to happen. The EA swore that our buyer is going full steam ahead & has sent off all her money etc so we should have a survey done early in the new year (god, the house'll be in a real state!). So we're also not worrying, not thinking about it too much & getting into Christmas. Mind you, was pleased to see the search results are all fairly positive - there's a field behind the garden & wondered if it might be a potential problem but apparantly not - no plans to build on it, was once a landfill site but not for years & not for anything bad, so on.

So Merry Christmas!

Well tomorrow really is last day for this thread to properly continue by its current name at least. I cant imagine anyone moving Christmas Eve.

So all those who moved and contribute to this thread or watch and planning to move, here's hoping you get the place you want and enjoy many years in that new home

All the very best and good luck for the future :cheers

terrierlady

and so say all of us.........
