    Got most recent set of keys shortly after the police and agent persuaded vendor's offspring to unhandcuff herself from the stairs. Seriously! So, about 4.30.

    Mind you, it is a lovely house, so I suppose I understand.

    Got a call to collect my keys about 4.30pm in mid December. Don't understand how it takes so long when only 3 properties in the chain.
