Buying a home and don't know how anything works

[Thora]

I don't think they're as common as normal light fittings with shades.

And they're all bloody ugly!

Whoop whoop! miss direct ....rootin for ya!

 

[equationgirl]

Fingers crossed miss direct .

Sounds like the previous occupants were really struggling if the ground rent wasn't paid for that long.

 

[miss direct]

Feeling a bit sick. I was told something about 2pm before. Trying to distract myself. No news is good news, perhaps. I mean I assume that if the sellers hadn't paid off what they owe then I would have already heard about it by now.

I was sat outside my new house, with removals truck, waiting for the call the previous owners drove off and I got the call. It's very stressful.

That happened to us , turned up with the removal van , we weren't allowed to go in , we had already handed the keys in for our Housing Association flat . Had to wait for about 90 minutes , the removal men were fine (guess it happens a lot)

90 minutes
A previous move it pissed down with rain on the day, with a young babe in arms it took about 3 hours.
It's not like it wasn't expected, we had exchanged two weeks previously.
To allow us in early, the previous occupants said they would go but only on condition that we would let them back in
for some bits they could not manage to take on the day

Congratulations miss direct !

It's a bit early for alcohol (for me - I'm still working) so I'll make a cuppa to celebrate.
