Survey booked, and missing paperwork
Well, CN’s surveyor’s have finally got in touch (if you’re keeping track that’s taken them four days since they were last chased), and that’s now booked for next Thursday. That’s almost certainly going to delay exchange, which, until now, was provisionally pushed back to the fourth of June.
That’s not the only thing contributing to the delay though…
The paperwork from Alliance and Leicester came through yesterday, ready for me to sign and send back.
Or so I thought. It turns out that the Direct Debit form is missing, and without this nothing further happens. And no, they can’t fax it to me, nor can they e-mail a PDF of it to me — they’ve got to send it by post. So, given the urgency with which the Royal Mail typically treats these things I’m not expecting it much before Thursday.
