Buying a house

[Mincepie]

As long as the probate is all cleared up then should be straight forward, but a colleague has just had a 9 month completion due to delays in the probate side of the process

Looking on the bright side they didn't try to renegotiate as London house prices went up over that timeframe.

Today's update:

They are waiting on a building regs completion form from council on the extensions that were done some time ago. This is good

Refusing to pay indemnity policies for Chimney stack removal, internal wall removal, replacement roof with too heavy tiles and a porch that contravenes a restrictive covenant. The justification is it was all done at least 20 years so etc etc. This is annoying and if i had to get only one it would be for porch

The planning infringement that appeared on my local searches has been laughed off basically. This is bad

They are now leaving the fire surround This is trivial

I think they will get the building regs completion cert (still not sure what that really is). The indemnity policies will hopefully be negotiated (i had to pay £600 for policies when i sold my house). The planning infringement worries me.

If i don't get indemnity policies when i come to sell house all his mess becomes my issue. The planning infringement needs to prioritised.
