  • I share your pain. flat first sold in November, if we don’t complete in a week or so it’s all for nothing. deal ends and our seller has lost patience as their own purchase is in jeopardy (there was no chain when we started this process) so the plug will likely get pulled by somebody.

    Hold up is a insurance certificate from the 90’s for underpinning that our buyers lender wants to see but nobody has one, the irony being it’s irrelevant now as ‘historical work’ and we found a surveyors report from 2014 showing a year of monitoring with .0025mm movement and a recommendation for no further work/no issues.
    Buyer goes often awol/incommunicado despite emails and calls from agent/solicitor/other agent nearly every day.
    bored of this shit now.

  • Arg, that sounds horrendous, you have my sympathy. My offer runs out in 4 weeks, same for my buyer. Hold up for me has been a deed of variation which is being demanded by my buyer's mortgage lender, and being disputed by the owner of the rentcharge on my property. The whole rentcharge thing is such a scam.

    I'd never heard of these until just now. Apparently "Rentcharges extinguish automatically on 21st July 2037 or 60 years from the date of which the Rentcharge first became payable, whichever is later." so hopefully not a problem for too much longer!
