A bit of advice required please.
We have at last come to the final proceedings and have agreed a date to exchange contracts etc.early August.
The sellers are now saying that they require a minimum of two weeks to move out of the property AFTER the final exchange.
In the copy of the contract the agent is asking us to agree too it is also noted the same.
Is this just another Polish quirk as in quite usual, the agent thinks so.
In my mind we would exchange contracts, pay any dues i.e. taxes etc. owed (as we have done in other countries) and the house is ours from that point.
I wanted to have the locks changed right after the exchange, not that we don't trust the sellers but why on earth would we let someone continue to live in OUR new house at our expence.
To give a more complete view, we have bought the house complete with all the furniture, electronics etc. not what we initially wanted but the sellers say they are moving to Germany and don't want to take anything with them just their clothes so a deal was struck.
Ant advice or comments gratefully recieved.
