    Fairly sure it’s in the mortgage terms (at least on our offer) that the property requires vacant procession. I won't be allowing this to happen if we ever get to the completion stage.

    I'm assuming you have made arrangements booked days of work, hired vans / asked people to help you out which might have booked days of work etc... Have they considered how you are going to recoup these costs? Sounds selfish of them.

    Dont allow this, your mortgage co and solicitor wont like it either. Speak to your solicitor and ensure that they pass the message to the sellers solicitor. You dont want any risk of a miscommunication.

    Aye. I was only 22 and a bit green.

    I'd only been in financial services three and a half years and wasn't a mortgage specialist back then.

    I'd been relocated to Liverpool and I was a manc and they were scouse, so no love lost to start with...

    NO chance.

    As far as I understand, your mortgage company won't allow it anyhow...

    Would politely ask EA to refer the vendor to their solicitor as all this third party stuff gets messy.

    Just turn up. When they answer the door, walk in and ask what they think they are doing in your house!

    Then tell your remoavl people to strat moving your stuff in while you plug in your ketle and make a cup of tea. Offer to make him one before he leaves....

    When we were FTB our vendors asked if they could move a couple of days after completion. As we weren't able to move until the weekend anyway, and were in rented, it actually didn't bother us.
