YOU COULDN'T MAKE IT UP!

The firm of conveyancers that our buyers were recommended to use, has proved to be less than efficient all the way through this lengthy saga. Knowing that exchange of contracts was imminent, the girl who has dealt with proceedings all the way through goes on holiday, leaving her replacement to tie everything up, hopefully in time for our buyers to move out on Monday. Said replacement fails to make the promised update call to our buyers, leaving them understandably frustrated and all of us feeling nervous. If it was me, I would be on that phone from 9.00 in the morning and I would not get off until I had some definite answers. This morning, I felt jittery about it all, and now I feel even worse. It may be to do with the disappointment we felt when things went so wrong a few months ago, and it is almost certainly the result of poor practice by the conveyancers involved, and I may be worrying unnecessarily, but Charles has just asked my what we will do if it all falls through, so clearly he is thinking the worst as well. My answer to Charles? I would just go to pieces, I think.
