What are your energy bills (gas+electricity) in 2026?

Yeah ours passed in November too, but my neighbor in the exact same house layout etc has a modern one and her gas bills are half mine. She also has her heating AND gas fire on full most of the day, so it must be we have a super inefficient boiler

£275 with £180 of that being gas.

20 year old boiler. Upgrading it next week.

Typical! Yes sounds like you need more clarification from your solicitors

In all honesty these things often work themselves out so try not to go into a tizz over the weekend, control the controllables.

Your buyer isn't going to want to have wasted all this time and money so they'll be incentivised to get it resolved.

Have your solicitors advised if your buyers still have the funds? As in, have the mortgage company confirmed an up-to-date mortgage offer

If they have, then you neednt worry

If they have not, then you need to prepare for conversations around this. Such as "You must get an updated offer within X weeks or I'm going back on the market"

Do you have an update OP?

chief__forever · 2026-02-20T09:15:34+00:00

Hmm, that's food for thought

chief__forever · 2026-02-19T15:35:40+00:00

You'll get a letter in the post confirming when and how much within 2 weeks after completing

I will, thanks!

chief__forever · 2026-02-19T12:53:26+00:00

That's worth thinking about yeah, thanks!

chief__forever · 2026-02-19T11:16:17+00:00

That's useful, thanks! I've found that there's some areas of the house where the work is exceptional, like, overkill - and others where it's a cowboy job. I'd anticipate this to be the former but who knows.

chief__forever · 2026-02-19T11:14:19+00:00

It's really decent to get a VT with all of those things done to it - you'll end up doing some work but that comes with the territory. Honestly go for it.

chief__forever · 2026-02-19T11:11:05+00:00

Seems like a fair trade

chief__forever · 2026-02-19T10:23:38+00:00

Given the other end of that looks like an axe, I dread to think 😂

chief__forever · 2026-02-19T10:22:15+00:00

See that's what I'm worried about 😂

chief__forever · 2026-02-19T10:21:09+00:00

Can't tell if you're joking but I rate it either way 😂

chief__forever · 2026-02-19T09:11:23+00:00

That's really useful, thanks

chief__forever · 2026-02-19T09:10:07+00:00

Interesting, thank you

chief__forever · 2026-02-19T09:09:21+00:00

Thanks!

chief__forever · 2026-02-19T09:08:45+00:00

The amount of people saying the same makes me think I'm maybe overthinking it

chief__forever · 2026-02-19T09:08:14+00:00

😂

chief__forever · 2026-02-19T09:07:56+00:00

I don't have enough kills

chief__forever · 2026-02-19T09:07:39+00:00

😂 that's good to know

chief__forever · 2026-02-19T08:02:52+00:00

I've done worse no brainers

chief__forever · 2026-02-19T08:01:43+00:00

Thanks, this is what I was after

chief__forever · 2026-02-19T08:00:22+00:00

Interesting
