Mad isn't it.
We had the offer accepted on the house we are moving into, in early June.
We are finally moving in on the 30th November. We too hoped to be in by the end of August at least.
It's nuts.

I was close to a year on a inter family transaction and we still had to do the conveyancing, back and forth,back and forth.

I want to move into it ASAP and get the work started early new year I have a weeks annual leave in the middle of December so plan on giving it the mother and father of a deep clean , I want to just shampoo the carpets let them dry then go over them with shake and vac for the time being but my wife wants to throw them out. I'm sure there's a joke in there somewhere
Win the argument here there's no point in new until all the craps down

Citizen laid mine before I had a chance to paint the skirting boards. They also didn't bother to nail down or level the floorboards.

Last move, I went shopping for a couple of hours on the day. Mrs and son were not pleased. But it was worth the ear ache on my return.

We're on our 4th springer spaniel and none of them could wipe their feet either although I'm not sure wiping feet is on any dogs core skill list

I think one person should buy one and then the rest of us borrow it.

Mine doesnt do a lot.Had an issue from the other side about a boundary moving.It was a new fence put up in 1984 after the old one blew down.My side said theyd contacted LLoyds about this,as there was a charge from them on the titles,and we may have to pay indemnity insurance.Asked her how it was going after a few weeks,and she said she hadnt got a reply.I made one phone call and got the relevant email address.Hey presto it was sorted in 3 days.

Yeah they are useless. No urgency.
Just incompetence.
Idk don't know but like anything I suspect a lot of it will be fraud prevention?

I've moved/sold several houses over the last few years.
Almost every time has been a slow stressful mess (apart from one which was inexplicably quick and easy).
I'd love to sell up, as would the dragon, and move to France, but I'm getting too old - now I'm in a position financially and family-wise - to do so.
The irony.

That's exactly what my missus just said. She's done with it all.
I don't think we ever would anyway. We have found a really nice place and it's only 8 mins walk from the beach and town centre and 10 mins walk from the train station.
It's been very stressful, but hopefully all worth it in the end.
Move next Thursday.
