Stess Level Rising!
We are in cardboard box land here - supposed to be completing Friday..still no f....... exchange! The buyers solicitor has just given my solicitor a nervous breakdown. She will not exchange until she gets the plans for our whole estate from the water authority all nice and couloured in so can't even be faxed. My solicitor has been conveyancing for 20 years and says she has never been asked for this!
Then I've got the buyers ringing me up asking if they can put things in my garage!!! I have restrained myself am about to explode! Feel like threatening to pull out now.
...sorry just had to vent the anger - the 8 month wait for the meds request was nothing compared to this hell!

Who is your water authority - you should be able to phone them and get the printed copy done on the day - possible for an extra cost - in colour.
It is very silly the solititor insisting on this cause they come with a stamp from the water authrority usually with a disclaimer meaning they are not worth the paper they are written on (used to work there!)
Anyway try ringing water company - Hope you are not Thames! Cause there office is in Reading
Horrible time you are going through....know it I have been there!

Are you talking completion or exchange?
exchange - you state the date for completion - deposit of 10% due, usually a much lower figure agreed
completion - the date set at exchange - the buyers have the right to extend the date by 10 days without you agreeing - legally (very rarely envoked - but in our case was)
which one are you waiting on?
Cheers

Hiya Max,
Keep your chin up, I sympathise, we ended up exchanging and completing on the same day 3 weeks ago, but that was the worst bit of the whole thing and as soon as that was done the stress levels subsided.
Fingers crossed for you,
Michaela
