The race to be in for Christmas!

mrsc_4

The property we're buying is also empty our vendor has moved out and our buyer has been ready to go for a month but its not us holding up the chain its buyers solicitor waiting on paperwork I can't see an end in sight!!

If this is what childbirth is like then i'm never having children as this is all really painful

I have absolutely no chance of being in before Xmas I think, despite an offer being put in end of Sept. The people we are buying off are flapping around in a daze and have no sense of urgency at all. I reckon I'm looking at March.

Angel1976 .... you said "I think housebuying is a bit like childbirth isn't it? You forget all about the pain and the stress right after the event otherwise no one will ever have more than one kid! " :rotfl: :rotfl: YES!! SO true and wish you luck!!
jodenice ....if you thinking as far ahead as March, sure it is wise as you will hopefully have no disappointments ... hopefully it will be sooner, could be a good way to think!! :j

NOT FAIR - Everyone here seems 2 be moving along with news, im just at a standstill...

Had some news i guess the people that are buyin our house have had their mortgage accepted, EA reckons they could complete by 23rd nov i hope this is so true but not countin on it till i see it... My solictor has tried to get in touch with the HA but they are being complete w@nkers, not helping at all, why is it when everythin goes so smoothly somehwere along the lines someone makes a mess of it... i dunnoooooooo...

The news i really want is that the searches are back and basically can go and sign contract... does anyone know if we can sign before all searches are back????

As always good luck

Good luck everyone!! We are also hoping to move on 1st December. It's a bit different as we are selling our Hotel that we own with my Mum. My Husband and I (and 2 kids) are buying (hopefully) a shop and my Mum is looking to buy a house. It's all pretty quiet at the moment apart from my negotiations with the two lenders (playing them off against each other :A ) - it's amazing how they can suddenly drop another 1/2 percent - why not offer me that in the first place??? :mad:

Anyway, it's all a bit stressful this close to Christmas but hopefully it will all go ok!

I wondered this too DKNY and called my sols as didn't want to hold things up but sacred putting name on dotted line before ready. You can sign them and send back but until they are EXCHANGED you can pull out. In fact, we signed the contract before ANY searches back!!
