Exchange and completion are two different elements of the contract. Exchange ties you into the deal, Completion is just what it states Completion of the deal. On completion roughly around lunchtime, he officially get the keys, its his house. Not before then. You have every right to bar him from the house. He should consult his lawyers of the legalities of English law, regarding purchasing.

Please note you can put anything on the Internet, it does not mean it's true!

Your ordeal is nearly over, let's hope he does not mess-up completion, by not having all his money in place!

Good luck

Wise words, thank you.

This is almost as good as that 'potential new buyers want bury dog in garden before buying' or the 'potential new buyers want to park caravan on drive over Xmas' comedy thread. Good one.

Oh well at least you know you don't need to spend a moment cleaning the house before you move out.

I'd have a good smelly curry the night before you leave and forget to flush the toilet on moving day...........

And I'm sure your baby will love to leave some nappies behind.....

Please do not allow anyone to change who you are. Talk of revenge does no one any good. You are the ones that will have to face them on the day, I am sure you do not want to make it any more stressful than it is already. Leave them house as you planned, in reasonable good order and chalk this one up to experience. In a positive light, he has brought your house so that you can move on.

Look forward to happier times in your new home, this period will be a distant memory before long.

Yes indeed I meant to type complete NOT exchange -my bad.
Fairly obvious it was a typo though from the rest of the post but I bow to your nitpicking as well as your correction- Thanks

Sounds like the estate agent has his measure.
You have to wonder about those qualifications if he tried to pull the breech of contract line on the EA too.
Wonder if he genuinely that uninformed and clueless or just a bully

It is strange he seems to have this 'impressive' online CV with qualifications from top universities etc either he just wanted to scare me by keep mentioning the contract or he really is just a wannabe and is ignorant to the actual art of conveyancing - he is really young and probably still wet behind the ears. Clearly a spoilt brat that is used to having his own way, more money than sense!

I did not consider my reply as being nitpicking. There are a lot of first time buyers on this site, who do not know the difference between each of the stages between exchange and completion, my intentions were to be informative as well constructive in my reply. My apologies if I have offended you.

Madness, some people are so weird ! Why cant people just be civil ! Im sure if he had approach the OP with manners and humility she would have shown the guy what he wanted to see no problem !

I would definately be having the lightbulbs and subscribing to some serious junk mail in a random name the day i moved !

No you've not offended me - hence the

Sounds like he doesn't understand the legal system ........hopefully he's a quick learner or he'll get into hot water very quickly...........even if the impressive CV is factual - education and common or business sense don't always go hand in hand.
