Oh no! Sorry to hear just_a_draftee
I don't understand what the hold up is. Hopefully they can give you a damn good reason why they have pushed it

This week has crawled for us too! I literally think there is 2 days of 2 diff trades inside (shower screens/mirrors/hang doors and add handles) plus 3 days of brick paving to do Re: First Timer (Built By Momu @ Calleya) 218Feb 16, 2018 12:41 pm JS15 You're ahead of me with door handles!

Touch ups are under way and painter is due in next week. SS suggested going in this weekend and marking the walls with painters tape for what we want fixed so that it can be patched next week.

Don't leave it to your builder or local bank or broker. Ring your bank directly and ask when the valuation is booked in. On the day the valuation is done, ring the bank again to check it has been done and final payment is ok to proceed. Ask for a cheque to be ready for pick up from a local branch. Don't do direct deposit or cheque in the mail as it takes too long. Take the cheque directly to the builder on the day you pick up your keys. When you know when PCI is (and assuming you don't have too many issues to be rectified), you can request the final invoice beforehand and submit to the bank. We had been through our house MANY times during construction so little issues were picked up and fixed as we went along. At PCI there were only 3-4 tiny issues to be rectified. We were happy to submit the final invoice to the bank before PCI. We had PCI on the 12/12, valuation on the 13/12 and keys in my hand on the 15/12. It can be done with persistence and a lot of pushing! Good luck! Oh and by the way, my HGWA SS (who I saw last week) said that they were really quiet at present with very few handovers occurring so don't let them fob you off!
