Hope you have a good Christmas/New Year break and that the move goes smoothly.

Hope you had a restful Christmas. Sorry to read it’s been such a rollercoaster for you. Hope the transaction progresses smoothly in the New Year.

Hope you are ok @Drawingaline and have had a few days rest and relaxation away from thinking of the house move. Enjoy your little break away, it will be good for you, look forward to seeing how things have gone when you are ready to come back

Quick check in. 

Nice quiet Christmas was had. Unfortunately tinged with stress over the house sale. 

Anyway solicitors opened on Monday and buyers solicitor managed to actually do some work and send the enquiries across!!! So all answered and contract and TR1 form signed, witnessed and hand delivered to the office. 

Only issue now is they want us to organise a boiler service. In Jan. In a lockdown. With three weeks until we have to complete 🤦 could have been requested and done it weeks ago. Anyway spoke to our friendly plumber and I will nag him endlessly! He said he should be able to do it before the end of the week, so hoping our solicitor sent all the enquiries back so buyers solicitor can write the report. And at least they are letting us sort it. 

So everything crossed for the 27th right now. Prayers and positive thoughts are also welcome 🤪 I need to start organising all our cash into one account too so we can pay the completion statement. Am annoyed that I will be emptying my regular saver three weeks before it matures. But if we get this bloody house I am past caring 🤦😂

Woo hoo! excellent news that it finally seems to be heading in the right direct (and actually moving )

Will keep fingers crossed for you!

Well Drawingaline you are edging closer and closer to doing just that. Fingers crossed for you. I'm exchanging tomorrow and completing on 15th.

Great progress. Glad it's coming together. Good that you have been able to get a plumber too - they're like gold at the moment.

He hasn't done it yet, so just another layer of stress to add to my insomnia. But he will get to it. He text earlier to say I hadn't been forgotten about so hopefully early next week.

Plumber came and did the service. Uploaded a copy of the service record to solicitors, just waiting to hear if they need the hard copy or not. So we have done everything we possibly can, and it's all out of our hands now. Need to confirm and pay balance to removals on Wednesday, EA will be chasing buyers solicitors then to check replies were all ok and that the 27th looks promising.

All sounding good. Will be a weight off your mind once you've moved.
