8 weeks between exchange and completion
Hi, As the title says, our buyer wants an 8 weeks gap. He is an investor and I believe this has to do with his bridging loan and the time it takes to release funds from his other properties. He is happy to exchange immediately. Our Seller is happy with this and there is no other chain. For us it's not great because the…

Selling post Brexit
Hi I know it’s a pretty bad time for selling at the moment but we thought we would have a go so went on the market early August. To date we have only had 3 viewings. My initial reaction was to blame our rather “relaxed” estate agent so we have booked a meeting with another. Straight away though he has mentioned dropping…
