Guys

Im towards the end of buying a house, everything is done and i told my solicitor that i had to be in the new house by end October. This has been going on for 2 months now, no chain on either parties.

everything is done i believe but now suddenly my solicitor is asking for the building regulations and planning permission from when the house was built 9 years ago. Is this a common occurrence? surely either this should have been asked ages ago or even ifs its a valid request as the owners bought it 5 years ago, so surely anything would have been picked up then aswell

they are also asking for the corgi for the boiler and gas fire in lounge

surely they will need to get that info from the council tho, which could delay things

Paid for the indemnity insurance for the gas safe appliances and the contracts were exchanged yesterday. From what i hear, this is now a far too common occurrence but its all sorted now. 400 mile drive in a 7.5t at 3am next saturday
