Re: Back to the move! rant.

[Guest guest]

Poor you - how stressful for you all. A big glass of wine and bar of

chocolate are in order I think.

I know it won't help, but we had a very similar situation - also to do

with the road and with 3 days to go our solicitor insisted on a

retention from the buyer (S*d off was their reply) or a cash deposit

from us of £2,000, which in the grand scale of moving isn't that much,

but when you've budgeted for every penny of your savings trying to

find £2,000 1 day before exchange and 3 days before we moved wasn't

much fun.

BUT we did move, (did find the deposit, which got repaid 2 years

later) and it all worked out fine.

Fingers crossed for you

Kirsten I have known solicitors exchange and complete on the same

day - so don't stand for any nonsense. It is not your hassle - you

pay the solicitor to sort it out and sort it out they should.
