    We did a BACs payment but it is limited to £10k per transfer. We had to transfer it over a couple of days.

    You can do CHAPS payments on your online banking but there is a fee. This is why we did a BACs transfer over a couple of days with the £10k limit as this was free

    Hey!
    Also in the waiting game.
    New build bought off plan.

    Initial Deposit Paid 15/12/2017 (yes really)
    Original Anticipated Completion Date: 27/03/2018

    Been delayed 5 times since, and now we are finally nearly over the last hurdle. We're waiting for the CRL New Build Warranty certificate to be issued (been waiting 2 weeks now and its meant to take a max of 3...), and then we will exchange and complete.

    Developer thinks he will receive it end of this week, so we are hoping to exchange on Friday and complete on the 29th!!

    Our seller went into sols yesterday to sign all the paperwork on their onward purchase (signed everything for the sale a few weeks ago), we are ready, and our buyers are ready. Told exchange should happen either today or tomorrow, and complete next Friday 29th. But I'll be a lot happier once we have exchanged... watch this space! :D

    Good luck Sophie! We are hoping for 29th too but just spoke to the EA and she said that the sol for our purchase hasn't reviewed the last enquiry response yet :mad: Hopefully they will get to that today and we can exchange tomorrow - fingers crossed!!
