    Instead got a very irate call from the EA to say that he was in touch with my solicitor and there are still enquiries outstanding on both my sale and purchase. 
    Haven't you been in touch with your solicitor - rather than playing Chinese whispers?
  • I have been in touch with my solicitor. It was them who told me last week that everything was done. 

    But the original enquiries landed with them on 9th September and I didn't get told about any of them until last week. 

    Apparently once they responded to them all last week, they got told yesterday that there were still 2 outstanding (one of which I gave them the certificate for last week) and the other was that they wanted an indemnity because I couldn't find the building regs sign off for the boiler. I just paid up there and then for the indemnity. No way was I going to quibble over £58 after reading numerous posts on MSE over many years. 

    Apparently now my sale is all sorted. A couple still outstanding on my purchase which sound fairly straightforward (vendor hasn't been asked for ground rent since 2017, but at £20/yr it isn't going to break the bank if the freeholder comes after me for it). 

    Four of us in the chain. FTB at the bottom is the one with the mortgage issue. We have to complete by Fri 10th. 

    Nowhere near as bad as the poster (sorry I can't see your name) who has had their chain collapse so often over the past couple of years.  I can't imagine the stress of that! Really hope you end up with something so much better.
