Hmm. Still awaiting key.

[superlambanana]

It's now 3.45pm. Should I be worried that we haven't completed yet?

Awww no what to you conveyancers say. I had a house move like this and it required much pestering but we did finally complete by 5.30 on the last business day before Christmas despite the conveyancers saying they were going off to their office party and couldn't help
It didn't make much difference to me as I'd already moved but the people waiting in the van outside had wee kids and it was excruciating. Pester pester pester and get to the bottom of the delay.
Fingers crossed it's gonna happen soon

uncross fingers and use them to make phone calls. As it is now 7pm, hope you did!

I had one like this - the money got held up somewhere. I spent the afternoon wearing the pavement out and shouting at people on the phone! Just as I had arranged for my furniture to be stored overnight and was sorting out somewhere to stay, it happened (just after 5pm). FFS that was a stressful day! I hope you got in eventually OP.

Have you phoned to check? I spent an entire day waiting for a phone call to say I'd completed on my flat, it wasn't until I phoned the estate agent to be told that yes, everything had gone through and I could go and get the keys.

Are you in?

yes... did you get the keys?

you cant keep us in suspense like this

Thanks - sorry, been very stressed til now!! Our buyer's solicitors mucked up and didn't send money to ours til 3.45. Ours needed to send it to our vendors by 2.30 so by time it got there it was too later for their mortgage to be redeemed. The only way we got keys was because the first solicitor agree to pay £12.75 interest on that mortgage (one day's worth) to cover it, and we'll officially complete tomorrow morning. Idiots!!!!

oh what a day!!! that sounds horribly stressful! I hope things sort out today!!

So, 11am and we still don't own the house.....

Oh no superl! :( Any luck now it's 12:30...?

Oh no! This is the stuff of nightmares. Ok, we'll not quite nightmares but you know what I mean. Fingers crossed for you.

Hooray, it's ours!!!! Good job because I've already unpacked the wine

Yayyayyay! Wine very much deserved I think. Congratulations on finally getting your new home.

Congratulations!

yippee!

Excellent!
