Unfortunately the 9th was the earliest British gas could do. We still want the check so that we know if it's sage to use until we get the new one, may take us a month to have all the funds.
I'm so desperate to be in the house, it's now been 8 weeks since offer accepted. I can see why they say house buying is stressful! Dont think I'll bother arguing if we're given a move in date before the check.
Sounds like a good plan. Wait until next time, you will be selling and buying at the same time - now that IS stressful!0 -
Should i just be grateful to get in though? As we're wanting a new boiler anyway am I being a little picky?
IMO not if you think there is a chance that something has leaked or been damaged etc. A few days isn't going to be a dealbreaker just for peace of mind. You've booked the engineer now anyway."One day I realised that when you are lying in your grave, it's no good saying, "I was too shy, too frightened."
Because by then you've blown your chances. That's it."0 -

8 weeks isn't that bad.
When we bought this place, we made the offer in April and didn't move in until 5th August!"One day I realised that when you are lying in your grave, it's no good saying, "I was too shy, too frightened."
