Random irritations of the day......

[GB72]

Our buyers buyer has pulled out, we were supposed to be exchanging this week.
House was on the market since June and the chain was complete in October. We'll miss the stamp duty holiday deadline, sellers probably won't hang around.
I'm going to have to sort my son's school application, and my wife is 5 months pregnant.
I'm lost.

Not much comfort I know but word around the profession is that the Stamp Duty deadline will be extended to the duration of all other covid financial measures

Not sure I wanted to read that or not.......

Thanks mate, I'll look out for that. Could help a bit, especially if our sellers wait for us to get a completed chain again.

 

[Bazzatron]

Oh crikey that's awful. Feel for you and hope you can quickly get something sorted.

Thanks Amanda.

Sorry to hear Seems quite a few chains are falling apart

What makes it worse is the council were buying our buyers house, which I thought would be a safe bet and no issues as ultimately, it's not an individual getting cold feet. They'd actually advertised for houses they wanted.
Our buyer lives on our estate already and wanted ours which is bigger. Council have pulled out as they don't want the estate management fee to be an issue....it's £75 per year and they've known about it since October. I'm tempted to say I'll pay it for them every year even after we've gone.

That is worse , is it worth a conversation with the council to see if their is a way of resolving over such a small fee?

Our most productive member of staff has just had an isolate notification from the nhs app. She doesn't know anyone with covid but she obviously has to follow the guidelines.

It would never be good timing but at the moment it is extra unhelpful.

I can't as it's not my buyer directly. Link one in the chain and I'm number 3.
Our sellers have said they'll give us a week and then it'll go back on the market. Can't ask for much else really, it was on the market for a year before we made an offer though so maybe it'll be a while again. Knowing our luck they'll get a buyer straight away, but can't begrudge them that, not their fault or ours really.

The same people taking threads off track everytime religion is mentioned and then go on about people forcing their beliefs on to others.

Spurs game is on at bloody 5pm, why?? On a day when I'm in the office as well so I'll miss the first half at least. Maybe I should be glad about that though.

Is it to avoid any crossover with the Champions League fixtures later in the evening?

I've no idea. Proper random one as we're the only Europa game today as well - others on Thursday as usual.

You and Arsenal couldn’t be at home at the same time maybe?

Just googled it and this is the reason. Arsenal was meant to be playing tomorrow night but it wasn’t changed back again. As for the timing, it is to avoid the CL games.

I knew that was a general rule, seems silly to uphold it when there's not even any fans going but hey-ho. Practically a dead rubber anyway. Might be able to stream some on my commute home.

Particularly since Arsenal are at home, in Athens.

Didn't even spot that either. How bizarre.

They were due to be in London when it was first planned. Presumably the organisation needed wasn’t worth it to change back.
