Had a catchup email , from chase Buchanan this morning .
Things sound pretty straightforward now.
I gave him a call, and regarding the fascia boards:
What will probably happen , is a retention is held for a period of time.
How much , will probably have to be negotiated .
If the work needs doing within that timeframe , then the money is there.
If on the other hand the work hasn't been carried out within that timeframe , the money is paid back to me.
So , the wheels are still moving round and round

Wishing you all the best, AC. I've been reading some fascinating threads on the "House Buying, Renting and Selling" board today. If you feel downhearted, check it out; I am fairly confident even London buyers are not half as daft as some of the loony stuff I have read has described.0
