Ah, my sofa was sat in the parents garage and this house has patio doors into the lounge dining room. Wrangling sofas round door frames is an art form.We own stuff that two (weedy office workers) can’t carry! Plus we have no experience finagling sofas around corners etc. I can’t wait for the four figure quote to move us .9 of a mile
Bought mine from a house builder (who had taken it in part exchange) they posted the keys to me.Any idea what'll happen with the keys if there's no physical estate agent office? It's an online one. I suppose the sellers could drop the key at our solicitor (around the corner) or at ours (around another corner)

Yes please. Does he do packing too?
Did a load of packing this weekend!! Plus another tip run. Still difficult to focus without an actual date.
We don’t have to move at the weekend, but are happy to own a house then 
Just replied to say ‘ok go for it’ so they have to do some work chasing for once 
No reply or acknowledgement of this ^! I don’t think they’re going to be moving at the weekend! If it was me there would be bums on fire all around town getting this organised. I mean, it is me but why should I educate these house sellers on how to sell a house? Morans.Vendor says (at 0739 this morning!) they want to move at the weekend so I said if they can make that happen they should go for it
The initial first read of a surveyors report tends to be filled with doom and gloom
Excited for you two!Completed yesterday! Only stressful in the sense that we were WFH with no printer so had to ‘break out’ to go to a chum’s to use hers, plus to the bank to transfer the deposit rather than in chunks over days
Teehee
Don’t you normally exchange (pay the deposit) and then complete?Completed yesterday! Only stressful in the sense that we were WFH with no printer so had to ‘break out’ to go to a chum’s to use hers, plus to the bank to transfer the deposit rather than in chunks over days
Teehee
YES THANK YOU I GET THIS CONFUSED ALL THE TIME. I remembered this fine months ago but as time has passed I have had less grasp on itDon’t you normally exchange (pay the deposit) and then complete?
Foresee any issues? Or will it be flawless bar the running around?Should be completing today
The good news is that the bundle of remaining documents for me to sign is almost ready so perhaps we are getting there.
I know what you mean. With an active toddler at home it's a struggle just to find time to sign the essential legal docs, let alone to find tradespeople or engineers willing to check out stuff on the survey.Great news 5t3IIa and Thora
I had an email from my solicitor on Monday - no sign of my mortgage offer - but that should be sorted now as the chap from nationwide was quite swift at getting it sorted. Odd though given that my own copy was received fine back in April and theirs should have been posted.
There seem to be have been a few bits of paperwork they’ve needed to ask for twice but I’m not sure if that’s down to me or them
Still need to look again at the surveyors report. Haven’t felt at all well this week, and seem to be spending my non-working hours asleep. I’ll try and print it off tomorrow when in work and look at it over the weekend.
I don’t know how people have the energy to investigate items on the survey and get people round to the property for an assessment. At the moment I barely have enough energy to get out of bed!
Don't think we really need to do anything today. Just waiting for the solicitor to call and say we can go and pick up the keys.Foresee any issues? Or will it be flawless bar the running around?
