Conveyancing solicitors are a touchy lot. We all know it's not proper law.

I'll keep you posted about the party ;)

so if I'm reading right, you and this headmistress are swapping houses? you'd think that would make things simpler!

No. We're not.

Bloke is buying from us to rent the house out.

We're buying from the headmaster.

She's moving to an apartment.

It's only a 3 house chain.

The circus is still in town.

Our buyer is insisting on the 31st August, even though he's not moving in to the house.

We don't know if the woman we're buying from can do the 31st. She's already had to make a few re-arrangements to get the 24th in the diary.

Who would go in the tent? If our buyer won't do it before the 31st I can't move in on the 24th unless I take out a bridging loan.

If she can't do the 31st she can't move on the 24th without my money unless she takes out a bridging loan.

Look on the bright side it's a new build. There will be no snagging when you get in and everything will be perfection :? Plug and play perfect living as soon as you open the door (blush)

It's 4 years old. I'm hoping the last owner dealt with any issues ;)

We're waiting to hear if our buyer is still insisting on the 31st August, which no one else can do.

I can see why they say buying a house is the most stressful purchase you'd ever make now!!

So after our buyer insisted we move on 31st and 24th August, we're still no further forward.

Our buyer still thinks we're going ahead this Friday. His solicitor on the other had has other ideas.

Check out the reviews for our buyer's solicitor

It gets worse. All of the paperwork needs to be amended as the buyer's solicitors have cocked up.

FFS.

Another 2 or 3 weeks delay I reckon.

I'll be lucky to be in before Christmas at this rate.

That's a joke mate, seriously bad. Can't believe they been keeping you on the hook like that. Later it gets the worse weather you will see and it will be horrible to move all your bits around. Bunch of to553rs!

Moving house is probably the worst experience you can have in life.

The people who do the conveyancing are generally bell ends of the highest order.

We are starting to think about down-sizing...and the idea fills me with dread.

To be fair to my solicitor they were very good but then my buyer appointed a retard who didn't even understand the basics of conveyancing and that was my solicitors comment about them which I full agree with.

The chain is as they say as strong as it's weakest link and get one fookwit on-board and your doomed from the outset.

Hang in there Kwacky it will come good in the end and be worth it.
