Why is it all so stressful?!!

Thanks for the sympathy. We can't find another property that we can afford. Even if we could it would take a month to do the legal work and mortgage application by which time the FTBs would have moved on. One house did come on the market on Thursday but very over priced (EA took me to see it Wednesday, when it officially went on the market on Thursday the vendor had insisted the asking price be £40k higher!) Couldn't even afford Wednesday's price so that looks like a non-starter.

Still here, 7 weesk until the baby is due! Were supposed to exchange on friday, nothing, could not get hold of sol.. Im flipping paying them £1200 for sale and purchase and they wont evenh return my messgaes, up unti now they have been ok, Really hacked off, we cant loose this house we are buying as it really is the only thing within 50 miles big enough that we have a vage hope of paying for.

Hope this week brings good news for all movers and the sun carries on shinning.

it's not stressful for me as a buyer.. as there are no houses to get stressed over!!

I have everything agreed.. so am a cash buyer.. have been looking for a month and only about 2 new properties have come on the market since then (that fill my criteria). It's annoying!

lucky you!!

Will join the club.

Have agreed sale on our property, and buyers have completed all surveys/searches and so are looking to press on.

However, despite finding our 'dream' house, we are still waiting approval on the Mortgage Offer....... its killing me - the survey has been done this week and all I want is someone to say, "here's your mortgage offer, get on with it".

My wife is 25 weeks pregnant, and so we could do with getting a shift on !

I think it becomes stressful when it's your dream house.

We've always bought houses needing lots of work - this seems to take the stress out a bit as although we can see the potential, we never "fall in love with them"!

We always take the mental attitude that it is all going to fall through - so are pleasantly suprised when it all goes ahead in the end!

If you have the option - look for buyers/sellers with short chains, as it's just one less thing to go wrong.

Good luck everyone!

I signed my contract last week but am not expecting to exchange until the end of March. My buyer's solicitors are still waiting for their search results and have said it's going to be at least another two weeks before they expect to be ready.
