Oh no ... after you got so excited too!!! I think we might be a Jan completion if we get over the current hurdle. I definitely agree on the stress front ... I'm sleeping so badly at the moment.0

They've been pushing for a quick completion since the start and yet take absolutely ages to do everything.
The latest excuse is that they have to come home and take there stuff out of the house.
The house is empty and has been since this process started and has very little furniture in it! The sales has been agreed for 4 months, you think they would have sorted that bit out by now!
I would love to tell them to stuff their house, all they have done is mess me about since the start!Weight loss challenge, lose 15lb in 6 weeks before Christmas.0 -
Really feel for you lazer! Have you exchanged? If so, then at least you know that it is going ahead.
Our offer was accepted in August but, as we are in a chain of 4, it has taken quite a while, but hoping to exchange next week - although the solicitor has been saying "nearly there" for about 2 months . . .
Best of luck!0 -

My buyer did this :mad: On the day of exchange they asked for a £1200 allowance to buy a burglar alarm. Of course I agreed, I wasn't going to jeopardize the sale for a measly £1200! but... I was really angry and I'm afraid it showed when I was cleaning/clearing the house.Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorn is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that she is pink; we logically know that she is invisible because we can't see her."0
