Sorry EH. All I can say is that is more or less what happened with my DD and they did complete on the agreed date but with so little time between exchange and completion it was incredibly stressful.

Oh EH, I am SO sorry!! I can imagine how vexed you are. What absolute fiends. Definitely top of the Spreadsheet of Blame 😡 Can we camp out at their offices on Monday morning for you?! Hope you can manage to do something cheerful over the weekend, even if it's not what you planned.
Are you still working towards completion on Friday, or will that be cutting it too fine for you? Big hugs, what a fiasco xx5 -

Oh that is SO frustrating EH! You wonder sometimes how some solicitors can claim to be professionals when they behave so unprofessionally! 🤞🏻 for Tuesday (urgh, stupid bank holiday!)Mortgage free 16/06/2023! £132,500 cleared in 11 years, 3 months and 7 days

Oh how frustrating! Yes, I would be furious too & doubtless swearing like a docker. It's 'everyday work' for solicitors & obviously this one has not thought of the fact that there are PEOPLE involved in the process. Fingers crossed it swiftly happens after the BH.

The even worse thing I think is that it won't happen on Monday either because it is a Bank Holiday! So 🤞for Tuesday and completion still on 1 September.
