PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour.

Thank you, yes this is what I was thinking too. Strange though as they were originally asking to complete at the end of January, but we couldn't agree due to the new build at the top having delays.user1977 said:Opposing parties using the same firm is a recipe for disaster, one way or another.
