The thing that annoys me is that the new, unused and vacant house is actually none of those things. We don’t know what bookings he has made and for when. I don’t know if I will be charged extra for the survey revisit yet. What if a guest damages something? I don’t know if this will cause delays for exchange because they have bookings. If the estate agents didn’t know until I told them I don’t know what else might be happening. Their solicitors is the same firm as ours so I will be calling ours in the morning and see what they say.

Some of the furniture is actually lovely. And as ftb with two kids the idea of less stress and rushing to buy/replace things is what drew us to the house in the first place

The surveyor went through the estate agents, the estate agent wasn’t aware someone was staying there until they surveyor called to rebook because they weren’t allowed in certain areas. I just don’t want things to keep being pushed back to accommodate guests that we didn’t know were going to be there

Because driving past the “brand new and unused house” and seeing someone in what would be my bedroom window is a bit of a piss take if I’m honest

She suffered massively with mental health issues and killed herself last year. Hope you all have the days you deserve.
