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?0 -
garden chairs - I had them for months!
best to wait and see what you really want0 -
I did think it was best to wait to be honest with you :-)
Thanks again0 -
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!0 -
Yer we are going to wait :-) to be honest next day we will get it within five days which is crazy but I’m also happy with haha
Thanks for all the great advice0
