    Could anyone tell me what that's all about? We know he has money problems so could this be the reason? Is his solicitor negligible because they failed to get his authorisation because it was 4am his time when they called?

    If we don't complete today, what can I do? Feel so sick and anxious. Am losing money every day I am off and I can't even complain directly to his solicitor as understand it's against the rules.

    Nothing to complain about it, as it's not failed completion as you have not exchanged.

    We were doing both on same day. All the funds were sent across and contracts swapped so I believe that exchange. All sent in one lump sum. Solicitor said we are nearly there and would pick up back up today...

    I expect your sellers solicitor was trying to contact them for authorisation to exchange contracts. Therefore you haven't exchanged yet.

    G_M - I suspect what's happened is that ceecee has sent their signed copy of the contract (together with funds) to their sol, ready for exchange, and is confusing that with exchange itself.
    Yes I'm 90% sure you are right. But the post is vague and contradictory about what are very critical legal processes.



    But the OP has to confirm!
