I've just bought and moved into my first house in Ireland. The previous owner had moved to Wales.
On the day I moved in, a woman came up to me on the Street and said that she was the previous owners cousin. She said that she had a key to my house and that she would drop the key down to me later in the week. I think she was taking care of the house.
She walked off, and the moving van people distracted me, before I could find out where she lived.
The estate agent came round to my house later that day, and I asked him to get the key off her, but he said he didn't know who she was.
It's been a week and a half, and she still hasn't brought the key to me. I feel like I can't relax, or go out, in case I miss her coming. I also feel like I can't relax when I go out, knowing someone else has a key to my house.
I've texted the estate agent today saying can he please call the owner and tell him to tell his cousin to bring the key around. He hasn't replied yet.
I feel like I can't relax till I get the key. Has this happened to anyone else? What did you do?
