    Apparently you need some grandchildren p. Perhaps why the solicitor is taking his time.

    Yes, but wait until your boiler/central heating/washing machine/pipes/electricity, etc, etc, etc packs up and you end up having to shell out for the fùcker rather than calling the landlord. Then you won’t be so smug.

    Solicitors are usually the sand in the KY Jelly during the house-buying process. This is in no small part because conveyancing is very much the remedial class of solicitoring, so they’re only doing it because they’re shít.

    That said, we had a splendid gay Greek last time who was constantly in the ball and got shít done. Even then, the buyers’ solicitor almost fùcked it up by lying about having transferred the funds, buggering off to lunch and then informing us they knocked off at four on a Friday. Cùnts.

    Or you could service them and keep them well maintained and you don't have to pay out

    You’d prefer someone else to be responsible for your boiler? Is that you, Jeremy?

    Yes because service contracts are free and are in no way designed to generate more revenue overall than call-outs.

    British Gas slapped about £70 on top of the ~£200 a year for the second year of a new boiler. Phuck that.
