Estate agent withholding key from new owner, current owner stays for free

<p>My property was registered on Monday 31 July. My Contract states that at 12pm on day of registration, I may receive my key and move in. The current owner is also purching a new property through this Estate Agent. She can't get hold of his seller, and now I cannot get the key to my new property. My contract states clearly that both parties agreed to no Occupational Rent. Yet the levies, water, morgage and insurance is now active and I must pay for it, but I am not living there. No addendum was made to this contract, no option to stay longer. I must be out of my place as well. Why should I be penalised if my registration and payments were successful. So, once they receive committion, they don't care about you. But by law, I have rights and I will take this to the EAAB and get a lawyer to take this further.</p> <p> </p>
