Our house sale/purchase had been progressing scarily well. Draft contracts had been prepared, searches had been completed. I admit, I was daydreaming about being in for Christmas, opening presents and having lunch in our new home.
And then today, we received a letter from the bank saying that we need to get a structural engineer's report on some cracks in the house we're buying, as they are possibly a sign of movement and subsidence.. I think we were expecting it, as we'd noticed the cracks ourselves, but it still came as a shock. So now everything is grinding to a halt while we get the report done.
We're gutted, and thinking the worst in all honesty, but we're so far down the road now that we'll just have to see it through and see what needs to be done once we hear back from the structural engineer. I just hope our buyers are prepared to wait!
