Moving House

[da SLUG man]

Nah, that can be sorted by chucking about £850 at it.

solicitors or surfs?

i used to be a solicitor... didn't make much money, think i stood under the wrong red light!

[da SLUG man]

never had a key not turn up on the day... but have had to wait till close of business before... if that's a friday then it's usually late as the solicitors "do lunch" and play golf!

not usually a problem unless you want to move in on that day!!... what ever happens DO NOT let buyer into your place until everything's exchanged and money is received.
you could end up on the street!

forgive me if I am wrong but, I allways understood, keys were released on completion (monies received) not exchange of contracts. time between exchange and completion can vary I have heard of up to 10 days - think you need to talk to your brief - in a chain all parties should complete on the same day or you could end up as the slug man says - no roof over your head
dont want to depress - hope it all sorts it self out soon for you - the old addage says 'cover your Ar5e!!'

We had the KEY early so that we could get the place in a tidy state. We had an agreement with the Owner as she had offered to let us have a key early so we could sort a few things before moving in.

Officially move in on Thursday, We could have moved last Sturday as planned but the place was in a bit of a mess. £142,000 3 Bed Semi in a nice location
BARGAIN really but needs Decorating right through, Also needs a new Bathroom Suite & Kitchen which is next on the List.

at least you got a date so you can move.that is certainly a good pricefor a 3 bed.the cheapest 3 bed down here is at least 150000 and you dont get much for that
