I'm a first time buyer and I'm purchasing a new build house in N. Ireland. The builder has said my completion date is this friday, in line with our current tenancy agreement.
I informed my solicitor of this on Sept 5th and received a reply that that was great news and then heard nothing for a further 17 days.
I emailed twice in the past week, I called the office twice yesterday and had no response until this morning. When he has now informed me that it won't be possible to complete as he has outstanding documents.
My main gripe is, why was this not communicated to me sooner? If I had known this last week I could've contacted the EA to chase. Myself and my partner have booked time off work to move as we were never told that the completion date was not possible. Family members have booked time off work, moving vans have been booked.
AIBU in thinking it's not normal to inform me the week of completion that we are missing documents?
