    there really must be some muppets who ms. I submitted a report yesterday. About an hour past the deadline. I was fighting a headache and bone tired with some kind of bug. So the report was fairly light on detail. And I missed out the answer to a specific question about the sales pitch, which I answered in response to an email later.

    Today I note I was graded at 9/10. If that's a 9 there really must be some muppets writing reports! And it was for a decent paying company too.

    There's still a few within walking distance I haven't done yet, but I do live in Central London. I've only done one south of the river thus far. Though... south of the river.
  • I think I'd be calling their bluff and saying that I am not prepared to do this. At the end of the day I would be expecting to be paying down my mortgage, not wasting money on rent that I'll never see again.

    Let them find a tenant willing to stay there till April and pay £1400 a month. Think they'll find this difficult. They should be paying you for the inconvenience, not expecting £3000 in rent money from you before you exchange.

    And what stunt might they pull come April? Have you spoken to your solicitor about this?

    Thanks for the heads up, useful to know (My Bank does not give an indication of holds coming in). and was not sure if MF would be Fri or Monday.

    Fri is better.. :beer: (Considering the amount $$$$$$$$$$$$$) :D
