Just that really. Exchanged on our place late last week and moving into rented; have to complete on the 18th before buyer's mortgage deal expires so we had 3 weeks to find a rental and arrange everything. Managed by some miracle to find one which is available on the 19th, landlord accepted us, paid the holding deposit, going through the checks now (not anticipating any issues now but you never know I suppose). However apparently we don't get to sign the lease or pay the proper deposit until just before we move in which I'm told is not unusual but it's made me really nervous - we have GOT to leave our flat on the 18th and the only place we have to go is this rental. Trying to find out if we can at least move the tenancy a couple of days early so we can get the keys before but the bloody lettings agent is on holiday and apparently no one else can help. They're all very zen about it saying it will be fine (and have decent enough reviews so I know they're reputable) but I am a planner and I find the lack of certainty utterly intolerable. The checks are taking forever because of lettings agent's said holiday.
Flat is a shit tip and as we're moving from a 2 bed flat to a 4 bed house we will be missing loads of furniture and will have to live in chaos for ages until we can sort it.
I'm feeling pretty apoplectic with stress right now and just wanted to rant!
