Just when you think moving can't get any more stressful...
We received our written mortgage offer in the post two days ago, but it's only good until next Friday (long story: we sold our previous house almost a month ago, and the bank only gave us 30 days to complete on new one, or we'd have to reapply/ kiss goodbye to a redemption fee of 4 grand). Our vendors are buying a new build, and also on a tight timescale, so in theory Friday should be fine for them to complete too. But... they can't get a removal company with such short notice.
(Yes, we have done this in a ridiculously complicated way, but factors along the way dictated it... Isn't hindsight a wonderful thing?)
Is there any way round needing to have 'vacant possession'? I.e. What's the least risky way we could complete on Friday but allow the vendors to actually move out the following week?
Thanks for your advice!
