The NEW waiting to exchange thread...

Major drama down here: my solicitor was fired (yes, literally fired) by the firm I'm employing cause he was not progressing applications. Which means he never sent out any enquiries and now the whole thing has to be picked up by another solicitor.
I'm half fuming half worrying that the vendors would pull out, cause we had informally agreed on an exchange date at the end of the months...and thanks to those idiots it looks like we'll be delayed by weeks! And to add worries on worries, my current flatmate is looking for someone to replace me from the beginning of march, so I might end up homeless

OMG ! STRESS !....not ideal will they push things forward so you can get cracking, you poor thing you couldn't script it !

Sadly withdrew my offer from the property I was hoping to buy. The shadiness from the vendor around the garden and outstanding structural issue have made me feel that I couldn't proceed with the sale.
I'll be back to hunting Rightmove religiously.

Okay - so now i am super stressed worrying about stupid house we are buying ..trying to arrange an electrician without having any actual dates too ..which is a hard enough task because they need access to the property and we can't do that without the estate agents giving us access, which means we have to work around them and Electricians who can only do bloody evenings to view the property ...GIVE ME STRENGTH...i like my estate agents ( strangely) but wished they would be a bit more willing to help on evening viewings/weekends knowing that these are the only times most people can do in these cases !

Solicitor has gone back to their solicitor regarding an indemnity policy so still waiting on that ..everything just taking so long and really fed up now as thought that we were almost there ..soon enough it will be Feb ...our buyers had said they wanted in by December

I'd be furious i really hope they treat you with priority given this ..or some kind of reduction in fees at least ..so annoying for you

I've just emailed them my feelings...I couldn't do it yesterday, I was so much in a bad place that I couldn't even write anything sensible. I've told them I expect them to assign me someone on the spot and have the new person call me, but I'm afraid this might still end up costing me money: I was waiting for an advice from my sol on asking on a reduction (small one, indeed) to account for a few defects that came up in the homebuyer report, but I don't want to ask the vendors for a reduction at the very eleventh hour :eek:

And we are done! Just had the call from the solicitors that we can go get our keys! :T

I might start tearing up with joy :kisses2::blushing:
