Loads of problems due to solicitors being totally incompetant.Our buyers are a total nightmare to put it mildly..They wanted us to have the whole house re wired before they move in.Reluctantly we agreed to it.So for the last week we have been living in total chaos ,brick dust everywhere.Basically not knowing whether we are coming or going.
I have had to cancel the shippers and change the flights again.
Hubby cannot hand in his notice at work until we exchange.
We have just been informed that we are not going to complete until next Friday now.
Just waiting for some more info from our solicitor as I think we are just going to take the risk and go anyway.
Children last day at school and playgroup so lots of emotions etc.Had the leaving do last week .Sold the car, cat re homed bless her.
One good thing I can say is throughout all the drama,our friends and family have been great.
We have had offers from them to lend us a car and put us up look after the children,help us clean up etc they have been great,even mums from school and playgroup have offered all sorts of support.
Had a call last night from some friends who have offered us there house for a week to help take the pressure off,which is so kind. :)
Think we are going to go anyway.I need to finalise the flights this afternoon and make a decision as what to do.
It was never meant to be this way,never planned it like this and never would have let ourselves get into this situation if we could have seen it coming but there we go it too late now.!Just pray it all works out. :scared:
All that's left to say is:
See you all on the otherside.Good luck to everyone who is still going through it.You will read this thread and hopefully be more cautious than we have been.
Thanks for all who have given their support and their advise .
Next time I post I hope to have made the move and be reporting with some good news.I am confident that it will all work out in the end.
Take Care love Dreamaway and family.

The house buying process in the Uk is something else. We bought and sold FIVE times and each time was just as bad as the other.

Rest assured that house buying selling here is easier from what I've heard. Mine is currently on the market - has not sold yet - so I'll let you know in time if the whole thing turns out to be as bad as the UK.

Have everything crossed for you duck.
