Yesterday was supposed to be the closing date for our house. At 4:30 pm, the sellers lawyer send us the official letter of extension, with the points that: they are granted until mid September for a new closing date, we could "rent" the premises starting Aug. 28th for $1 to "accommodate our need to find new living space" (we are on month-to-month lease and were prepared to move out at the end of the month. Our landlord is nice so we can probably extend our stay no problem, but the sellers don't know that), but we would be required to pay an additional $1000 deposit. If we didn't want to wait that long, we could poney up $100 to have the land severed in a non-survey dependent way (even though the original contract stipulates that severing costs are the sellers responsibility).
So basically, even though we are out another months rent (which they didn't offer to pay for) as well as the connection fee for the power bill which had already been changed by 4:30 pm yesterday, they want us to pay $1101 because they weren't ready for the closing when they said they would be ten days ago. And they sent us this at the end of the business day last night.
Fucking wankers. I am super pissed.

Cheer up Natalie, we still love you. Don't blame you for being pissed though. Nothing your lawyer can do about it? Are they being hard to get along with because THEY settled for less than what they asked?
We are working on it. The mortgage has been forwarded already, it is open and will go into repayments the first of the month. The lawyer is the incompetent one, although it may be the sellers getting cold feet.
