Completing on an house within the week but ....

Hey everyone

We are finally completing on the house we have bought this Friday. I’m sending the deposit over in the morning but we are looking st buying an sofa on zero per cent fianc! from next. Over two years.

Now the things I’m worrying about is when’s the best time to go and buy the sofa are we safe to do it now or is it better to be safe than sorry and wait till we have the keys as I’m not sure I want to risk an extra random credit search yet.

What would you do

Thanks

    Wait!



    Surely you can have patience for a few more days. Have you measured, do you know it fits, will it go through your doors to get into place?

    I did think it was best to wait to be honest with you :-)

    Thanks again
  • Definitely wait!

    Although it feels close, the house isnt yours yet!

    Its gonna take about 6 weeks between ordering and delivery anyway, so no mad rush to get it ordered!
