We are cutting it really close with the house purchase. We ended up pulling out of the flat purchase because of 1) length of time it was taking, 2) lack of clear answers from the seller and her solicitors and 3) misinformation from the estate agents at the beginning of it all. Conveniently, a colleague at work was selling his house, which is about a 5 minute walk from ours....for the same price as the flat! So we are now in the process of buying his house.
BUT - we need to complete the purchase by the first week of December as we are going to have visitors at any given time from the 10th of December through the end of the year. And with 5 people currenlty living in our house, we will not be able to accommodate 7-10 people in our house! So the race against time is on.
What's holding it up is the mortgage company (hmmm, deja vu). They took two weeks to respond to us once we gave them the check to do the survey, then took another week and a half to actually do the survey. Now we are waiting for their report and the mortgage letter so we can move move move on it.
Bloody hell.
