Panic Stations

sePanic Stations
Two lots of panic about the two houses I’m buying in Coventry yesterday – and I got to hear none of it because my phone had frozen. As soon as I got in, the panic started.
The £145,000 property did not complete as planned. There had been a last minute hitch about the loft conversion, which meant that the solicitor could not draw the funds in time. The vendors had moved out and so they had to spend the night in their caravan. It just shows how important it is to await the sollicitor’s instructions.
The other panic was about the house I am going to buy that is about to be repossessed. The Building Society in question went ahead with the repossession, even though they know the vendor had someone interested. In fact, though the judge threw it out of court. I myself had spoken at length to the Building Society on Friday and tried to persuade them how foolish this was – especially as we are in the weeks of seasonal dip. There may well be someone very senior working there who would know us.
So, now, though one completes tomorrow and the other goodness knows when. I await the deliberations of Mortgage Express.
