I am selling a business and property.
We should have exchanged in time for two weeks ago, then last week, then yesterday, now today - there have been hold ups after hold ups, requests for more information never asked for before.
Apparently now they are ready (thank goodness, because three moves depend upon them they are the bottom of the chain). Apparently they are awaiting a 'safety to lend certificate' now from the commercial department of the bank to go to his personal financial manager at the bank.
Only after this can they exchange. I am going to lose the person at the top of my chain if that doesn't happen today.
Does anyone know what this is? Or how long this should take? Or if they are now just making up reasons to not exchange because he can't afford the money so I'm being strung along?
I'm going not so quietly nuts here - this has been going on for what feels like forever.
