    The extra money was mid 2018. I reckon they have been caught out by the contract not saying there’s a mortgage on the property. That’s why they need a new one signed.
    By "the contract", do you mean your tenancy?

    No, it's irrelevant. Your tenancy doesn't even need mention whether there's a mortgage or not, and it affects nothing. And as soon as you move out, your tenancy gets ripped up and put in the bin.

    Who on earth drew it up for them? A vague clause like that would never be enforcible.


    But whatever - if they are country folk and own a gun, and hold it against your loved-one's head, then sign.


    Otherwise - don't.:doh:
  • Thank you all.

    Just to be contrary, I’ll disagree. Or, at least, I’ll quibble.

    In theory, a perfectly satisfactory new contract could be drawn up. Most contracts are for fixed terms of 6 months to a year, but there’s no reason why this one should not have a fixed term to 31 January 2020. That sort of thing. It might need careful drafting, but it can be done.

    If your erstwhile friends are very keen, they should pay for the work to be done.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Or indeed a 12 month contract wth a Break Clause that either side can activate to take effect any time from the end of month one after serving one months notice.....
  • A new contract seems a bit pointless. We will be gone by the end of January.

    We should be moving in January all going to plan.

    Have you exchanged contracts? What is the fallback plan if exchange/completion is delayed?
  • We can move in with my mother in law. We have other backup plans.
