They were called before the last post!!!
Got the call back at lunch, and it is looking like things won't happen in a hurry
IF all the items on PCI are addressed early next week, I will be able to sign off on that and it can progress. The problem may be the bank, as they will need to go and inspect, which will likely be when the SS is on holidays (no access to the house for 2 weeks). And from the sound of it, it won't get passed onto someone else while he is on leave.
Outstanding things that he is not sure will be fixed in time are the alignment of the toilets in both the WC and ensuite.
Looks like I will have another interest only payment to the bank!
