Ok so I know I wouldn't really, horrible practice, but they are being such arses I want to do something really rotten to them.
They accepted our offer on their house back in mid July... all fab and groovy. We had already sold our flat, had all our stuff in storage and were living at my mum and dad's so ready to go. Mortgage approved, deposit sitting in savings account (earning nothing BTW )
Postal strikes have caused a few problems, a couple of things have gone astray and we've had to resend, but other than that, we've signed everything we've received and sent it back by return of post or soon after.
They on the other hand have hassled and hassled us to exchange before we're ready. Our solicitor repeatedly asked for the council documents signing off on a kitchen extension they did 2 years ago, and it arrived on her desk at the end of last week - the inspection was only done by the council at the beginning of last week!! So effectively the vendors wanted us to exchange on a property that hadn't been fully signed off by the council! Er, no!
We're finally in a position to exchange, contracts signed and in the post, deposit paid (electronically so somewhere in the ether)
Secondly, today... Wednesday the 30th September, they tell us they are going on holiday on 10th October, and if we don't complete by the 9th the sale is off and they're taking it off the market.
I don't use the word often, but our vendor is a total C U Next Tuesday!!!!!
Rant over, as you were
