Get used to it , nothing is easy over there but if you stick with it , be polite and humble and you'll be accepted with open arms . I've seen quite a few come a cropper by turning up and acting the 'big I am ' but I only ever had help offered by everyone I dealt with , I still owe people favours over there !
Good luck with your new adventure , it's not easy but stick with it and you'll be fine .

Still in the UK.
Told on 29th nov that everything was ready. Just had to exchange in a a couple of days.
Then told the buyer had to wait for a panel solicitor acting for the bank to review everything.
They have done sweet fanny adams and tefuse to talk to the EA or my solicitor as instructed by the bank.
Net result is nothing will happen until the nrw year.
Off to barcelona in a sulk on boxing day for 3 days ...
