I have made it to the end of season 10 of The Curse of Oak Island. No treasure found.

Hope it all gets sorted, eek. I'm sure it will but I suppose the seller could claim some form of penalty for the delay? I'd hope the errant solicitor picks up any such bill.
In my own housing news, no paperwork has been raised yet by the letting agency. This is because the landlady is overseas (not sure if resident or just on holiday) and they want to get confirmation about the removal of unnecessary furniture I've requested first. I'm glad they're doing a proper job of it so am comfortable with the minor delay.
My current landlady has lined up some viewings for tomorrow and next week. Some chap who lives up the road came past as I was faffing in the front garden who'd seen the place online and wanted to have a look at where it is due to him and his wife needing to move and wanting to stay local. I gave him an unofficial tour as I didn't see any reason not to. I almost considered asking for a swap until he mentioned his landlord keeps whatsapping him and his wife trying to convert them to Islam.

and by the time I discovered what she had done it was too late

Will add - my annoyance comes from the fact that based on what I was told the only issue was elsewhere cue putting pressure on that elsewhere.
Only to be told by the person I asked to apply pressure that the real issue was on our side.

That's a pretty tulipty situation eek - no wonder you're annoyed. I remember my overriding worry when I was buying this place being that I couldn't see the various moving parts of the process as well as I'd like and assure myself that it was all going OK. Any idea when you might be able to get it sorted?
Story I've been told is that 2 page faxes have been sent but not all of it's arrived - I'm sorry but that's the 1990 way of doing things...
Going to be fun when this is finished as I have enough stuff from other emails to get the FCA making painful inquires as to their processes (I've 2 emails with other customer payments listed in it including amounts and reference details which is often house details).

Morning all
Wet. Raining. Currently 9 degrees with a high of 14 expected. Rain expected off and on all day. Barometer up to 1010 mBar.
My offer on that flat I saw was accepted! The other people failed referencing, namely the affordability checks. So today will be about sorting my referencing out to ensure I don't suffer the same fate.
