Something will turn up. |
Hope it works out Sam. Can’t beat stability.

But, between them loosing the deeds and the solicitors taking an absolute age to do anything, its taken 8 months and counting so far to get to "pre-exchange" stage... Whatever that means, I just want in the house! Oh house is probate, so noone living in it, and we are renting, so literally just me in the chain! |
sounds like must bite the bullet and wait for it all to come together.
Wonder if you could ask them to reduce the price by the amount you have had to spend out on the rental. Can only say no, but the delay was not on your side. Every little helps as they say!! Good luck, don't forget the longer it takes the more the solicitors will charge, so in their interests to keep dragging it out!! |
Pre-exchange is just the solicitors etc having completed all their searches and checks on title to a point where both parties are prepared to take it forward.
Doing the hpi, mot and service history checks before you arrange for collection I guess in our speak. What about renting it from them until you exchange, and deducting the rent paid from the purchase price? |
Sorry to hear about the car and the house hassle.
I don't think the house can be rented while it is probate - as the estate owns the property and until probate is granted no-one can "do anything" with it from a legal standpoint. I had a 4 month wait for probate when I moved at the end of 2019/start of 2020 - but that also depends on whether the executors submit the request to the court as well. Hope it all gets sorted soon enough! |
Apologies for the delay in updating... But here we go :)
MGF has gone to a new home (Down your way actually Peter!) back in Sept last year. House went through and we moved in Sept last year, but it took BT 6 months to get crappy Broadband to the house (was living on even worse 3G for work etc). Finally got Starlink installed and used that since. Started work on the car, but it was slow as doing in on weekends and around work and family. Then a couple of months ago decided that it was about time (almost 10 years) we got married, so booked that in for August this year. This means that I need to get a few projects sorted before then for the space, and since the T16 was basically two cars on my drive, I have given them to a local mechanic to put the new engine in and tidy it all up (then MOT it). Will update further when I have news of the car :) (Still got the Pontiac Firebird, need to do some work on that at some point too!) |
Congratulations for August, hope you can use the T16 as the wedding car.
Good to know it is all coming together at last. :group::group::group::group: :bow::bow::bow: |
You’ll have yours done before me! All sounds good Sam. Good to hear life is good for you.
