Hey buddy,
How's the house buying going?

Slowly.
Kinda assuming that no news is good news. I'm sure if there was some horrible error, the bank'd've shouted by now.

Or they're stringing me along, like the bunch of cunts they are.

It's more likely that one or more people involved in the whole situation (bank, solicitor, other vendor)
is a disorganised twat and forgot something.

That pretty much always happens, don't sweat it.

Yeah,
I'm just waiting really. No hassle either way, worst case is it all falls through, and I've paid a bit of money out to survey-stuff. That happens, I'll just start looking again.
Anyway, best be off, time to go work.

when we bought ours was fine, but the one working for the guy buying our flat was fucking useless
she'd set deadlines for stuff, everyone else would be ready and then on that day she just wouldn't be in her office, and not even her assistant knew where she was.

Our flat was built on an old brickyard as well, and for some reason she decided she needed to see the planning permission for when it was turned into a brickyard in 1934...

I'd have been more concerned that it was built on a load of shit that they chucked in the ground after the brickyard closed.

it's fine
I looked through the remediation report and it's mostly inert and stuff. They built the play area on the bit that was dodgy.

Was this produced by an independant investigation
or was this the report provided by the landfill operator?
(Bazongaloid, Fri 15 Jul 2011, 9:39, Reply)

it was independent as far as I recall
it was some years ago now.

As long as it's only the children that'll fall into a sinkhole.
Sure it'll look a mess, but at least it'll have an upside.
